New System with Fedora

[Roopakshi Pathania]

Hi Liz,

I'm curious: is there a specific reason for which you need to perform statistical analysis on Fedora?
If so, what software are you looking at?

In my experience, Debian is the best distro for scientific analysis.
R, an extremely popular statistics tool has latest builds for packages on Debian.

There is also Gretl
