Dear R-users. I eventually bought myself a new computer with the following characteristics:
Processor AMD ATHLON 64 DUAL CORE 4000+ (socket AM2) Mother board ASR SK-AM2 2 Ram Corsair Value 1 GB DDR2 800 Mhz Hard Disk WESTERN DIGITAL 160 GB SATA2 8MB I'm a newcomer to the Linux world. I started using it (Ubuntu 7.10 at work and FC4 on laptop) on a regular basis on May. I must say I'm quite comfortable with it, even if I have to re-learn a lot of things. But this is not a problem, I will improve my knowledge with time. My main problem now, is that I installed Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon on the new one amd64. To install R on it i followed the directions found here http://help.nceas.ucsb.edu/index.php/Installing_R_on_Ubuntu but unfortunately it did not work. After reading some posts on the R-SIG-debian list, such as https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/2007-October/000253.html I immediately realize that an amd64 is not the right processor to make life easy. Therefore I would like to know from you, how can I solve this problem: Should I install the i386 version of R ? Should I install another flavour of Linux ? Which one ? Fedora Core 7 ? Debian ?
