[Ubuntu-BD] (no subject)

[Goutam Roy]

Dear Samee bhai, Yes, I have already enrolled my name in this course which
will be started at the end of September. Eagerly waiting for this.

Dear Nabir bhai, Many thanks for extending your hands to help me. I am
going to communicate with you in another email.

Dear Nasim bhai, Many thanks for in-details information about R. I have
already installed it as well as R-studio in my computer. However, though I
knew S language, but because of not working in this language for the last
some years (as I prefer graphical environment of SPSS), I absolutely forgot
everything. :(

Many thanks to all of you for your kind reply. Especially I will write more
and more to Nabir bhai and Nasim bhai as they have already experience on
this language. Hope my journey to R will be easier because all of you will
with me.

Goutam
