Could someone please suggest a good text editor for
writing R sources ?
(I know emacs exists ... but I find it a bit heavy).
I use crimson (http://www.crimsoneditor.com) which is
small and simple, but the R syntax seems not to be supported.
See http://www.sciviews.org/_rgui/projects/Editors.html
The page tells us that there is support for Crimson editor.
And for Linux, what do you recommend?
There are suggestions on that page that Uwe mentioned above for Linux!
First choice would be (X)Emacs/ESS.  Then there are also vim, kate,
bluefish, ...

It comes with ESS "built-in" if you get the full distribution.  But
this would be better asked on the ess-help list.
