similar to: R and Windows Vista

Dear R-Users, as I will start a huge simulation in a few weeks, I am about to buy a new and fast PC. I have noticed, that the RAM has been the limiting factor in many of my calculations up to now (I had 2 GB in my "old" system, but Windows still used quite a lot of virtual memory), hence my new computer will have 4 GB of fast DDR2-800 RAM. However, I know that 1.) Windows 32 bit cannot

Dear All, I am currently using R in Windows PC with a 2 GB of RAM. Some pretty large datasets are expected soon, perhaps in an order of several GB. I am facing a similar situation like Ralph, either to get a new PC with a bigger RAM or else. I am just wondering if R is getting faster in other systems like UNIX or Linux. Any suggestions are appreciated. Regards, Jin

Hi, I tested a little bit Samba with Windows vista and found serious performance issue regarding reading large files from Samba server. Computers that I tested Samba with were all identical computers equipped with 2,8 GHz Pentium D processors, 1 GB memory and 1 Gbit/s LAN. All computers have only external USB hard drives so that it is easier to change from operating system to another. First I

I thought I'd share this with the list since it appears to provide a quick fix to some memory problems, and I haven't see it discussed in relation to R. To reallocate virtual memory from kernel-mode to user-mode in 32-bit Vista or Windows 7 one can use the increaseuserva boot option value. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa906211.aspx On my 4GB Vista machine, R is now able to

Hi, I''m running Xen server based on OpenSuSE 11 (Xen version 3.2.1_16881_04-4.2). I have several Linux DomU''s that run perfect. Now I need a temporary Vista install (for testing) so I used ''virt-manager'' to install Vista. I used LVM based setup, Vista got 4GB of memory (at least temporary) and 2 CPU''s. Initially things look good - I get the console

Where does the R build for Vista X64 stand? The last update message is from July last year (see [R] Improved Windows Vista compatibility from Prof Brian Ripley on 2007-07-11). Is it likely to happen in 2008? I suspect that more people will start using it as Vista is adopted more widely. And I'd certainly use it for large genomics data sets. Thanks, Dan Gatti UNC-CH

Windows Workgroup, private network with a Windows Vista PC sharing a folder for full access to a specific user name. The share is browsable and readable from other PCs on the network.

I''m not having much luck getting either a Vista or XP VM up and running. XP: I''ve created an ISO from my WinXP SP 1a CD. The VM seems to be created fine. It boots then installs the OS. On the second setup boot after copying over the OS files, it brings up a box that says: The file ''asms'' on WindowsXP Home Edition Service Pack 1 CD is needed. Then wants

It seemed FUD [*] has been prevailing here and elsewhere on Vista security features. I asked our sysadmins to set up a Vista box for me on which I have access to all levels of accounts. Many of the issues I found were covered by earlier answers and all in the upcoming rw-FAQ (currently available at http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/R/rw-FAQ.html and in the 2.5.0 pre-releases) but a quick

Hi everyone, I wonder, if anyone can help me with this annoying issue, although it is related to Tinn-R and Windows Vista... I am running R 2.11.1 and Tinn-R 2.3.5.2 together. I saved 2 R-hotkeys: ALT+A for sending the whole content of one file and ALT+S for a selection from one file from Tinn-R to R. Everything works fine with other windows versions, also with Vista at the beginning of every

This is a repost of a simple question about Windows Vista and R (with answer), along with a heads-up on other Windows Vista issues that people may not be aware of and that may impact R development. 1. The standard package install process fails because the user does not have permission to write to Program Files/R/R-version/library. Apparently the install process has already been modified to give

Did anyone try to run R under Window Vista, especially Windows Vista 64bit? Thanks.

While using SAMBA 3.5.4 as a primary domain controller for Windows Workstations I have problems with offline files synchronization. While using Windows XP everything works great, there is still no problems with machines with XP. Problems started with Vista Business, there is a lot of synchronization conflicts. Windows 7 also have problems with proper offline files synchronization. Most

I am using deltacopy (uses rsync) to backup up a drive in windows vista to a freenas server. Before moving to vista, had the system working fine (on a windows xp machine). The command used for the backup is: rsync.exe -v -rlt -z --delete "/cygdrive/F/TXT/" "nas::160d/_Acer_F/TXT/" As a result of this command, rsync should create a dir (not on nas) and then copy some files

Hi, dear all, I just switch to vista (ultimate) and have heard there is some problem for the installation of xemacs on vista. Is there any insight or experience that you could share? I really appreciate any input. thank you so much!

Dear all, Please, please I really need your help, since I am not able to solve the problem myself: It seems that until now most Windows users of my Bioconductor package "xps" use Windows XP, but recently a user tried to use it on Windows Vista where it crashed R immediately. Since I assume that some users may migrate to the upcoming Windows 7 where the problem will be the same, I

In the smb.conf I have declared the following share: [userdata] path = /data/userdata admin users = domain+adminuser browseable = yes writeable = yes hide unreadable = yes csc policy = disable The

Greetings! Tonight is unfortunately the first small bit of time I've had to even try to get Samba configured between my Vista and my Linux FC4. (My mother as well as my extremely limited home time dealing with important things are my main delays.) It's not going well. :-) I have added hosts allow with 192.168.1 and 192.168.2. I have experimented with a few things. I
