The joys of study....

I'm in a course that requires the use of this IBM statistics software 
(SPSS), and hooray for IBM - finally someone who gets the real world of 
computing in this day and age! :-D - they have a linux version. About 
time the course providers got it through their heads that Winblows is on 
the way out...

Anyway, the specs require linux 2.6.18 and GCC 4.3 and libc++ - 
basically what I think might possibly run on FreeBSD (IBM seems to think 
so too). Just wondering about any real world use though? Any hiccups or 
problems?

Cheers
