I wonder what software I can use to draw curve based on data, like the origin or Excel under windows. I tried the KSpread Office tool but it is not that good I think.
Will anyone recommend one for me. Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure if this is what your looking for but look at:
http://www.octave.org/

If it is:
apt-get install octave

I think that you can use OpenOffice Calc for the most things you use Microsoft Excel for.

If all you want is plotting ability then gnuplot is the one for you. It's not a spreadsheet and doesn't pretend to be, but with a bit of reading it makes very nice graphs. Outputs to a variety of useful formats and can be manipulated by other code (like Perl scripts).

Like funkidan2, I suggest you to use gnuplot . However if you don't want to spend to much time reading manuals you can use xmgrace too. It's easier to use and also more intuitive ( like Excel ) than gnuplot even if it doesn't allow you to make 3D graph.

Good luck
