Dear All, I'm considering installing a kFreeBSD/Debian hybrid operating system. i.e. A Debian OS but with a FreeBSD kernel. Which subsequently requires running (and compiling) R. And at some point, looking at the relationship between the R source and fortran. I thought I'd be prudent, and ask if anyone has done this before? Also, if I should expect nontrivial problems (especially compiling R), and if so, how nontrivial? Hopefully, someone more experienced than I, can offer useful advice on this subject... Note (1): I wasn't sure which mailing list this should go on. So, just decided to roll with R-devel. Note (2): If I understand things correctly, the most recent version is based on Debian 8, so there are possible problems there.
