R for data mining remotely

Hi,

I have looked at packages like SNOW and FF , for distributed computing
but got overwhelmed a bit. I need to know how to put a R GUI (like
Rattle) on say a Hadoop backed platform on remote computing (like
Amazon Web Services). Please let me know regarding any help in this.
#
Rattle is a GTK+ application. For remote access one would typically
write a web application. A relatively simple user interface could be
built on the caret package, maybe.

Another option might be to use a remote messaging system like SOAP to
submit big jobs to a server. Perhaps you could adapt Rattle to do
that.
