Todd: With all due respect, putting this thread in the same category as that mess last week is a huge leap. For one thing, this hardly a controversial topic. For another, I doubt that I'll be block-deleting great numbers of comments on this thread for the next five or six days before losing my cool. Finally, the posting shows the scope of Mandrake users' usage of Linux. Praedor's error was that he framed his question incorrectly. He should have asked if anyone knew of Linux-based method to evaluate Fisher's exact, since it turned out that one list member had written an article on the subject. Ponder the improbability of that one for a while! -- cmg (who wouldn't know Fisher's exact from Adam's off leg)
