That might be better for a different thread? I'm not sure how it relates to the quote either.

You have any material for study on LibreOffice applied statistics? I could not find much, most are references to Microsoft Office.

 

[bugman]

Can you please give some more information about what you want? This is pretty vague.

I think I found what I was looking for, but I want is basically learn to do hypothesis testing, advanced graphics, and learn to manipulate data.

Thank you friend, the content seems to be very good. I will study this and then look for a slightly more advanced material. My biggest fear is to invest much time in LibreOffice, and in the future the place I work is just use MS Office. Do you think I'm moving forward with LibreOffice, will have difficulties with MS Office.

I don't use any office product now. In my experience, it is not difficult moving from LibreOffice -> MS Office. For eg: The basic functions are almost same in Libre Calc and Excel. The difference is mainly in the add ins. There is some difference in formatting in between Word products. The MS Office product is better finished product than Libre (at least by the look). So one may not like to switch from MS Office to Libre without strong reason (Could be money or open source philosophy, etc.,).

You know how to install Minitab on linux? Archlinux more specifically.

 

[Dason]

You would probably need to use Wine

 

[askazy]

Is there any equivalent to Minitab package that is native to Linux?

 

[Dason]

There's something better. It's called R and it's great.

 

[bugman]

Archlinux more specifically.

Good choice of distro.

Yeah man, problems with viruses and crashes ever again, which makes me a bit unsatisfied is the quality of the wireless on my laptop and battery life, as in windows these aspects were much higher.

Emacs has been the single best thing I have learned during the past year and a half. It has made me considerably more productive; org-mode, awesome syntax highlighting, using git is a breeze with magit, auto-indenting in ess makes my code look so much better and for R: r-autoyas which really speeds-up R coding to the max. I also do ssh management and directory management in it and I can send R codes to our cluster with a key-stroke. Looking back I think Emacs was really a good switch all in all... I just wish it would come with a decent text editor.

@TE, happy to read your post. I was not able experiment with Emacs for the last few months. Now I am buying a new laptop where windows installed. Planning to use windows for next one year. I am making this sacrifice to get collaborators for my research.

I am sure that trinker would love org-mode. It is a perfect application for a person like him.

Yet to buy the laptop. I am done with my Doctor thesis. Going defend my thesis by the end of this month. I will buy the laptop using the next employer's money.

Awesome! Well done DO we get a copy of your thesis?

Sure. But not now. I sent one paper from my thesis for publication. Planning to make one more in 3 months. I don't want to get into the plagiarism mess.
