Transitioning from Mac to LInux?
As you are asking about R experience from Unix-alike OS users, I think you would clearly do better to ask on the - debian and/or -fedora sigs.

If I should ask over at r-sig-debian instead of here, please tell me. I don't wish to clog r-sig-mac with off-topic stuff. I've been watching the massive headaches people are dealing with trying to keep R fully compatible with each MacOS X upgrade, I'm wondering whether replacing my iMac (2009) with a new Mac really makes sense from an R - user point of view, as opposed to getting some inexpensive desktop and installing Linux. I know I can run R and RStudio under Linux, for example, but don't know what limitations, if any there are when it comes to building packages from source, getting compatible compilers, and so on. What have some of you 'power R users' discovered when/if you tried to build , or incorporate Bioconductor or other repository's packages under Linux? -- Carl Witthoft carl at witthoft.com resume: https://app.box.com/file/498153801347
