Hi everyone, want to use R in our company but have to complete an intern questionnaire first. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance! Here the questions I?m not sure about: 1. Is R a Clientsoftware / Serversoftware / Systemsoftware?
This is a strange choice. what would you answer for e.g. Excel?? It's most certainly no Server. It's not a Client, because there is no "R-Server". But R can establish connections to several Server Types, for example to download data. R Packages can extend R's funcionality What's "Systemsoftware"??
2. Does R need a ?chellenge-response? treatment for activation?
Dunno what "challenge-response" is. But R is open-souce, no activatoin required.
3. Is R proxy-able?
HTTP-Proxying seems to work, google "GNU R proxy" and see <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e>
4. Is the personalised WINDOWS-NTLM-authorization at ISA-proxy possible?
Don' know. But you can run R without any changes to a Windows system, like registry entrys and such. Copy the folder and execute R.exe
5. Are any exceptions for virus scanner needed? If yes, which ones?
No.
6. Does R changes system files or folders? (e.g. system32, registry). If yes, which ones?
No. Regards, Moritz

well, R includes a Turing-complete programming language, so I guess It really is difficult to answer NO to any of this questions? They do not seem very precise. Kjetil
