Subject: Amount of memory under different OS
Your best bet currently is probably some flavor of Linux for x86-64
(assuming you are buying a box with AMD64 or EM64T chip). Personally I've
had good experience with SUSE SLES8/9 and Fedora FC3.
Even though 64-bit Windows might be out `soon'
(http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=22246), I believe it's lacking the
64-bit compilers for building R.
