R GUI for Linux?

Hello all,

I noticed that both Windows and OS X version of R have a GUI  
(Rconsole).  Is there a GUI for Linux?  I'm running Debian on which  
the CLI for R works just fine.

Regards,
- Robert

HI Robert,

Of course Linux already has a console! Just type R in the Terminal 
console and R will start (assuming all is installed correctly). Graphics 
will be launched in separate windows.

If you want more then the Terminal console, try:

Good luck,

Sander.

$ apt-get install r-gnome     ## works up until R 2.0.1
$ R --gui=gnome &

That said, as of R 2.1.0, the Gnome UI is no longer shipped with the R
sources. Hence, I no longer provide it in the r-gnome package.  However, the
code is now provided in an add-one package 'gnomeGUI' on CRAN which you could
install directly.

Hope this helps, Dirk
