    Marco,

    You could try R, a totally free implementation of the S statistics
    programming language:

            http://www.r-project.org/

    R has everything you need. The main possible disadvantage of R (or S)
    versus packages like SPSS/SAS is that they are much more programming
    languages customized for statisticians rather than statistics
    packages. So, they require more technical competence on the part of
    users.

    Chris.
