Dear All, I finally have chance to have R install on our unix server. However, the system admin asked me if I prefer command-line or gui interface. I have experience with R on linux before but never use R on unix. Here are my questions that I need you guys help. 1) is there a good gui for R/unix like we do for windows and mac? 2) if the answer for 1) is yes, which one is better interms of computing performance and stability, cmd or gui? 3) do you have experience with ess+emacs on unix with R? Any insight? This will be an experimental use of R in our company. If I can make a successful case out of it, we might be able to use it in a larger scale. So your input and help are highly appreciated. ==============================WenSui Liu Statistical Project Manager ChoicePoint Precision Marketing (http://spaces.msn.com/statcompute/blog)

I would suggest that you view unix and linux as being essentially the same, from the point of view of using R. I use ESS for syntax coloring, help with indentation and parentheses matching, that sort of thing, and it works very well. -Don At 11:08 AM -0500 1/22/08, Wensui Liu wrote:>Dear All, >I finally have chance to have R install on our unix server.
