Hi, what is the minimal hardware requirement for run R on windows 9x? and for run it in a linux with X and a light windowmanager? Not for hard use, only for learning.

Ronaldo,> what is the minimal hardware requirement for run R on windows 9x?My R 1.8.0 installation (on Windows XP) requires 42 MB of disk space. The R process, after starting, requires about 20 MB of virtual memory. So I guess if you have about 60 MB free disk space and about 40-60 MB available virtual memory and enough patience, you are ready to go for learning purposes. What will probably happen is this: a.) you will quickly like R b.) you will find you want more RAM Lutz

R itself does not take much space but everything depends on your data -- R takes everything into memory, so with 60MB crime data I had to put everything into PostgreSQL and even then it is not much fast.
