CentOS /RHEL are based on a version of fedora. CentOS 6 is based on
Fedora 13 or 14, so a package from Fedora 23 is no more use to me than
an Ubuntu package.
I'll have to continue using the Windows version of PSPP until I upgrade
to CentOS 7 someday.

I watched C-Sharp glitter in the dark near a programmable gate.
