Hi there, I'm not sure whether this is the right mailing list to put this question... if not, please tell me where I can find help. I have a spare dual-core machine which run Windows XP Professional and is nearly unused (nearly! Unfortunately, I cannot change OS). And I'm investigating Knime (knime.org) to set up data analysis workflows. They have some nodes to execute R on a remote machine. Is it possible to run R on this windows machine, so that I can call it from somewhere else?
Call from somewhere else is somewhat unspecific. Anyway, there are several ways: - Work using a Remote Desktop Connection (as I do for maintaining the CRAN windows builder, for example). - Install some secure shell server and work command line based. - Install some framework that allows to start processes on that machine as a node in a computer cluster (such as mpi) - this is not that easy on Windows and you always need a lucky combination of libraries (mpi/Rmpi and so on) that work together.
