One of the easiest ways to try Linux for R and Bioconductor is to use 
the Quantian distribution developed by Dirk Eddelbuettel.  It fits on a 
single bootable DVD image and includes R, many of the R packages, and 
the entire Bioconductor packages.  Because it is derived from Knoppix it 
is very easy to install.
