I've been trying to find a good alternative to SPSS (since it's what I use at university but alot of the time I need to do some statistics @ home). As far as I know GNU R and Octave are the best contenders for the sort of statistical analysis I'm trying to do. I've installed the back-ends but I'm really struggling with getting a GUI to work properly with the 3.0.1 version of Octave on the Ubuntu repository (which is slightly out of date... the current version is 3.0.3).
I was wondering if anyone could help me by recommending a repository with the most current version of Octave AND a GUI that will work with it

Please HELP!
