Dear All,
I finally have chance to have R install on our unix server. However,
the system admin asked me if I prefer command-line or gui interface.
I have experience with R on linux before but never use R on unix. Here
are my questions that I need you guys help.
1) is there a good gui for R/unix like we do for windows and mac?
2) if the answer for 1) is yes, which one is better interms of
computing performance and stability, cmd or gui?
3) do you have experience with ess+emacs on unix with R? Any insight?

This will be an experimental use of R in our company. If I can make a
successful case out of it, we might be able to use it in a larger
scale. So your input and help are highly appreciated.
