Hi,
Pretty hard to say. It really depends on what you want to.
MASS, nlme, lme4 and Hmisc are packages I use on a daily basis.
I guess you could also ask for those.

As a

statisticians using R recommend to install. I have started a new

and want to (greedily) get everything that I may or may not use as I

avoid multiple requests to our IT dept.
Thanks
I haven't seen a response, so I will make a start.
It all depends on the area you are in, and the sort of work you do. If
you are in finance, you will likely require different packages than if
you are in biostat or whatever. There are no clues in your email, not
even an informative address or signature.
There are a few general packages that you might consider though: Frank
Harrell's packages; ggplot2 for graphics; a bootstrap package;
depending on the users maybe a gui package such as Rcmdr ...
There are around 2000 packages now I believe.
