• Is there a version of Stata for Linux?
  Yes. Tested and supported operating systems include Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Ubuntu, Fedora, and others. If in doubt, contact us with the name of your Linux distribution and release number to verify.
• I've heard that Stata for Unix requires X Windows. Is that true?
  Almost. If you want to be able to see the graphs you draw, you must have X Windows; otherwise, Stata will run fine without it. Graphs can be exported to PostScript with or without X Windows.
• Can I trade datasets with my friends who use Stata for Windows?
  Yes. A Stata dataset created on Unix can be used, without translation, on any computer running Stata and vice versa. Yes, we understand the issues with byte order and how, in ASCII files, lines are terminated. We repeat: Any Stata dataset created on any computer can be used on any other computer without translation. The same goes for graphs, programs, and any other file Stata uses or produces.
• Can my copy of Stata run on both my Unix desktop and Windows laptop?
  Yes. Stata licenses are not platform specific so you can use your license to install Stata on any of the supported platforms.
• Does a guarantee come with Stata?
  A 30-day, satisfaction or your money back, guarantee comes with your purchase.
