Dear Grant, Gabor and Patrick, Thanks so much for your comments. I am actually not a developer but a student in quantitative finance. I am entering the R world to get one more tool to communicate with more people. Also, it might help me to replicate those procedures in some interesting academic paper using R language. So I guess I will start learning R from a windows version, and further switch to the Linux version if necessary. One more question, is it ok to install R in Vista Professional, which has been pre-installed on my laptop? Is there is any compatibility issue or annoying bugs? Again, thank you.

There have been other answers, this one is meant to complement them. R is remarkably similar under all platforms. In particular I routinely move files of R objects created with 'save' between platforms.

Dear all, I was also wondering is there any advantage using R on Linux vs. Windows? One friend told me that I might pick up the use of R on Linux, since some financial firms are using R in that platform. But what I want to know is, in terms of learning language, what is the difference b/t doing in tow platforms? Thanks very much!
