[R] R like SPSS

[Gerhard Prade]

Hello all,

(Sorry, my bad english)
i am searching a alternativ for spss that i can use with linux. I 
studied sociology in germany and work sometimes for some hours in the 
marketresearch. There they use statistics like anova and crosstabs. I 
see that r can make anova or regressions but the most work in the 
marketresearch is making crosstabs. These companys use something like 
spss tables or gess to make tables for the customers. I read that r can 
make with latex tables with xtabs or ftable and so on. But i dont 
understand the use of all that. My question is: Is R a good alternativ 
to make tables?
The goal is to make something like that:
