hi, I was wondering if there might be a software that is suited to making class rosters and doing simple data analysis like excel but perhaps a bit more 'unix-like'?. I've heard that perl might do the job (?) I've looked at R which seems to have really powerful statistical tools, but perhaps a bit too much for the simple task of keeping track of a set of numbers corresponding to a set of names and producing histograms every now and then. I guess my question really is, if one would use latex in place of word, what might one use in place of excel or appleworks that would not take up as much resources, but yet is more powerful? Thanks, KL
