I hope this is the right place for my question, my apologise if it is not. I am a long time Mac/UNIX user and my local machine is a Mac. At present I run an orphan version of R which a worried out of (*****). On reflection I guess I'd better not say, but it changed my life. It is howerver a little out of date ( say 0.6ish) So the obvious question, do I move to MacLinux or is there likely to be a Mac R in the near (<18 months) future? I do think you might offer some idea of any possible Mac developments or at least say they will not be any!

We now run R from a Linux server with students sitting at Macs running MacX, and so far it's worked well and has been quite painless to set up.
