compatibility with endnote, Stata, and other softwares

Asked by Luisa Soares Miranda

Dear Sir/Madam,

I just bought a netbook and I am thinking is installing in it the Ubuntu Linux. But I don´t know if I will have a text editor compatible with endnote software. And If Ubuntu Linux is compatible with softwares as SPSS and Stata. Can you please clarify to me these compatibility issues. One more question, will my netback be faster with the Ubuntu ( since I have Microsoft 7 starter)?

Thank you

regards
Luisa

Should be faster as it is lighter, depends on your config in Windows.

What is SPSS? By 'stata' I'm guessing you mean http://www.stata.com/ and so I suggest you ask the developers. It may run in wine:

Gets a silver rating.

Thank you for your answer. So you wouln´t recomend me to change from windows 7 starter to Ubuntu linux? I thought my netbook would be a lot more faster with the linux sfotware, I was only concern with the compatibility issues.
thanks
Luisa

neither spss nor endnotes work under linux systems. however, openoffice/libre office offers a feature similar to endnotes. i think there's an equivalent to spss in the software center.

linux as an operating system is faster than windoze 7. however, if you feel you MUST use spss and endnotes, you should stay with windoze.

If those 2 apps are the MAIN use of the system then Linux will not be the tool for the job. You could setup a dual boot (Win7 can resize it's own partitions to leave free space which you can install Ubuntu to). You can then boot to Windows when you need the apps you named, however it makes litte sense though if you use these apps for 90% of the time. You can web browser and do all the other things you need in Win7 (as you know).

I suggest you evaluate your options and make your move.

Can you help with this problem?
