[R] Moving form Windows XP to Linux (Ubuntu 4 / debian)
Hello! I am trying to move my work in R from Windows to Linux. However I am missing some of the functionality I was used to under Windows. I tried running R 2.0.1 by typing R in the terminal and via Emacs/ESS. R Gui currently does not work on my Linux. Currently one of my problems is: Under Windows, I could terminate any R function by pressing "ESC", but this does not work under Linux. Is there any other way to do that under Linux? Thanks in advance for any answer! Ales Ziberna

There's no real R user interface under linux, but it's not that better to have one...ESS/Emacs is pretty good! (you'll just get nervous when you'll want to save plots, look rplots up in goolge) *Try Rcmdr package, hope sci-views-R we'll be available soon for non-M$windoz OS *or have a look in CRAN->other->RGUIs something called RKward if you run KDE *only if you installed R from a source R-...-tar.gz and did a ./configure --enable-shlib, ./configure --with-gnome when installed type R --with-gui='gnome'. if you run Gnome. *or a poor one by typing R --with-gui='tk' For ctrl-C I've had the same problem, but it do works sometimes if you select the ESS-buffer... otherwise I don't know Let me know if you get the clue Good luck, Guillaume
