I got an email which kind of said that my use of "Linux people" is
disrespectful and could imply that people who use Linux couldn't afford to
supply fundings.
It is *absolutely* not meant like this, I personally have Linux machines
(Debian, now Ubuntu) but currently use Windows more. My server is Suse. I
just wanted to express, that on linux afaik the people don't have the data
in xls-format and prefer the text format. It's from hearsay/newsgroup/and my
impression from a R-course. On Macs I personally know people who do a PhD
and have their data in Excel. So I though, they could be interested.
English is not my native language. Sorry for writing in a sloppy way.
