Well, to choose ReactOS () instead of a version of Linux (there have some Linux distributions that have aimed for being close to Windows in their "look and feel") is much braver and more risky, but then, your learning experience, including possibly being the first one to run R there (?) ((possibly even learning how to *build* R there from the sources ??)), will feel more frontier-like and self determined than just following the Linux crowd ;-) ;-) :-) Martin ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
