There is a package called R, with capabilities similar to Splus.  There is 
a GNU clone of SPSS under development called PSPP--try 
http://directory.fsf.org/science/math/stats/ for these and others.  There 
is also Octave, with capabilities similar to Matlab.

There used to be a few others in older RHL versions (xldlas was one), but 
I've lost track of whether they are still active.
