Please forgive my resending this help request. I sent it two days ago. To date I have not received any responses.
Thank you,
John
 
 
I am looking for a small computer low power that I make available on the web that will run R studio server or R server

1) can anyone recommend a computer?

2) can anyone let me know the advantages and disadvantages of R studio server and R server?

Thank you

John

John,

I missed your first post on this, but I suspect that the lack of replies here is due to R Studio having their own support venue:
 
  https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us

and that your query is likely best posted directly to them, since this is not strictly an R question, per se, thus technically off-topic for R-Help.

Regards,

The Raspberry Pi 3 runs a version of Debian. It is quite small. Mine runs a

bit.  It has 1 GiB of RAM and 32 GiB of flash memory which is the disk. It
runs 1.2 Ghz. It has 4 USB ports so you could plug in a USB connected disk,
if you need more local disk space.

Hi John,

I don't think this is the right place to find information about
RStudio or Microsoft products. If you re-phrase the question in terms
of what you want to accomplish rather than whether RStudio or
Microsoft is better perhaps people here will give you some
suggestions.

Best,
Ista
