Pro memoria:

1. R is an runtime environment object oriented from the Information Technology (IT) point of view. The package can be used for: reading and manipulating data, mathematical and statistical computations, conducting statistical what-if analyses, and displaying the results in a graphical mode.
2. Linux is dedicated for servers. They must have oportune architectures: 1, 2. For Windows Vista , Linux SuSE 10.2, and other platforms take into consideration the consumer preferences: general purpose computing architectures.
3. Windows Vista context: I recommend Intel dual core or AMD FX-72 Dual Core Socket F(1207 FX) 0.09 micron architectures.
4. This web site was tested with the following browsers: MSIE 6.0, 7.0, Firefox 1.5.0.6,...,2.0.0.18 under Windows XP Home (see note), Mozilla Firefox under SuSE 9.1, 9.3, 10.0, 10.1.
