[Rd] Using R on kFreeBSD/Debian Hybrid

[Abby Spurdle]

Dear All,

I'm considering installing a kFreeBSD/Debian hybrid operating system.
i.e. A Debian OS but with a FreeBSD kernel.
Which subsequently requires running (and compiling) R.
And at some point, looking at the relationship between the R source and fortran.

I thought I'd be prudent, and ask if anyone has done this before?
Also, if I should expect nontrivial problems (especially compiling R),
and if so, how nontrivial?
Hopefully, someone more experienced than I, can offer useful advice on
this subject...

Note (1):
I wasn't sure which mailing list this should go on.
So, just decided to roll with R-devel.

Note (2):
If I understand things correctly, the most recent version is based on
Debian 8, so there are possible problems there.
