We did research and statistics, I got 100% on my final exam, the rest of the grades did not come in yet. Thanks for all who helped, I also attended two statistics labs and studied 60 hours a week, reading 700 pages of the textbook in five weeks, doing problems, writing papers, working with a team, making Excel spreadsheets for projects, etc. That was part one, now a new 5 weeks starts with part 2, going even further into advanced statistics.
Hypothesis testing, ANOVA, f-curves, it just keeps getting better. ;)
I learned more about Linux, I had a Lindows server going for a while, but after I reformatted it and went with the new Linspire changes, the tools like man, gcc, make, were gone and apt-get is just a dummy program. A pity I had an Apache2 web server running, SAMBA shares, PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, and configured the firewall. Ah well, time to move on to a new distro, that is $50USD wasted to try Lindows/Linspire, but the Linspire Live CD looks spiffy. I am betting they removed those tools to force users to install software from the CNR program, which needs a $5/month access fee to download files from their online library. A pity, Linspire is easy to use and configure, but I hate to give up my freedom in order to use it. Well live and learn.
Edit: I take it back, they commented out the sources in the sources.lst file. After uncommenting them, apt-get works as it should. So I can install software without the CNR program. Now I have installed the gcc tools, I can compile programs as well. Their word on taking these tools out is that they say certain libraries won't work with Linspire and may hault the system. I think it is just a way they can limit options and sell software download services to their customers.
