Hi there, I'm not sure whether this is the right mailing list to put this question... if not, please tell me where I can find help. I have a spare dual-core machine which run Windows XP Professional and is nearly unused (nearly! Unfortunately, I cannot change OS). And I'm investigating Knime (knime.org) to set up data analysis workflows. They have some nodes to execute R on a remote machine. Is it possible to run R on this windows machine, so that I can call it from somewhere else? Antje
Nobody can help with this question (or tell me where I can find help) ?

Yes you can run the Rserve application on a remote computer in e.g network and then you can connect it from your Desktop computer. I've done this already with a remote Linux computer (Rserve is running very stable on a Linux computer). For example i clustered an R,G,B image on a linux computer with R to make use of the additional RAM without to load my Desktop application (The remote connection will be a new feature in the next release of my application). If the mentioned application uses Rserve and can be configured with an ip adress etc. it should be easily possible. Please read the information how to config Rserve(and read the security info carefully!) on the Rserve website: http://www.rforge.net/Rserve/ http://www.rforge.net/Rserve/ ->Documentation I hope this information helps!
