R will run on essentially any Windows machine you are likely to have
(there are people running it in 8Mb memory, though it works much better
with more than that), on Windows 95 or later. You don't need anything else
(though if you want to link it to Tcl/Tk you need Tcl/Tk).

It will run on MacOS 8.6 or later (including OS X). Again, you don't need
anything else.

You can compile it for essentially any Unix-like operating system. You
need C and Fortran compilers and Perl.

The best place to find this information is on CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org),
where you can download binaries and sources. You might also like to look
at the `R Administration and Installation Manual', under "Manual" on CRAN.
