Software on Unix switching to Linux: Stata, SPSS, SAS

Stanford is phasing out Solaris systems and switching to Linux.

If you use statistical software such as Stata, SPSS, and SAS remotely using an x-windows emulator such as VNC, please set up your server at one of the Linux machines such as hedge, vine, bramble (see here for details).

xstata (the x-windows version of Stata) no longer works on wisdom, power, and other Solaris 8 machines. SAS has been experiencing font display problems on the Solaris system as well.
