R is a little tricky to learn, but well worth it, because it is very powerful.

An it's even available as a package via Synaptic -- search for packages with names beginning with "r-".

I have installed SPSS 11.5 under Linux using codeweavers cxoffice 6.1.0. (commercial version of wine). I used the same botlle (virtual windwos c: disk) that I installed office 2000 on. Everything seems to work allright except for the graph functions. I can can load data, analyze it, produce tables with output etc. Only producing graphs seems problematic. The install is going smoothly, asking for a serial etc.
So if you can miss graphs, SPSS seems to work allright. The more people us SPSS with cxoffice, the bigger the chance that they will start support on it.

go for R!

Gnumeric is a spreadsheet application but it has some kind of integration of R, or imports functions from R. I can't say how this is used; I only know that this is the case -- but perhaps using Gnumeric that's a very workable alternative.

R has its own repo for Ubuntu packages. Once loaded into Synaptic it will take care of updates for you.
