Samples between PSPP and SPSS

I've got a question about how PSPP and SPSS create pseudo-random numbers which are then used to create pseudo-random samples. If I set a set to a consitent value, say 123, and create a sample in PSPP will it match the sample created by SPSS? If someone knows which pseudo number generator is be

As a Ubuntu use, I can confirm what Ben said. The version of pspp in the repos does not include psppire. To get psppire on Ubuntu, you will need to compile the 0.6 release or use a binary someone else compiled. If you are running x86, I can send you a binary. If you are running 64-bit or Mac, I

I rarely get this excited by a piece of software, but this one has really grabbed me by the toes. I am also of the opinion that PSPP is exactly the kind of software Linux needs to transition knowledge workers to FOSS. I still like R-CRAN, but using it in an office dominated by SPSS workers is d
