R help - Jul 2008 - Create an R package

Hello all!

I'm new to the forum, and relatively new to R.  I've tried searching a
couple of times for my question and came up empty handed.  This may be due
to my lack of knowledge of keywords.

I'm planning on putting a package together, and I'm only about half way
through.  I'm running Windows Vista.  I've given a cursory look over the
process of creating an R package, and I'm starting to question whether Vista
will work smoothly or whether I should be using some type of Linux
distribution instead.  From those with experience: would it make sense to
create the package in Linux; or, am I just making things more complicated by
setting up another operating sytem?  Thank you for your help in advance.

Scott

Vista works fine for developing packages.  You might look at

http://batchfiles.googlecode.com

which has some batch files for use with Vista and R.
