[R] Question about graphical UI running R version 2.7.0 (2008-04-22) on Ubuntu Hardy Heron...

[Brian Lunergan]

Hi All:

Tried out a couple of different options suggested earlier, but for some
reason I can only get Rcmdr to work properly. Not that that's a problem,
but it might have been nice to have a couple of other choices.

Just tried out JGR and ended up getting not found errors on several of
the menu choices. Installed OK. Just several key menu options such as
package manager don't work. Have I possibly missed something in my
setup, or has the cat some catching up to do to be compatible?

Interested in considering sci-views, but I get the impression from their
site that it is a windows only choice. On the mark, or have I missed
something?

Accepting the point that I'm an oddity for preferring an R GUI rather
than the CLI in Linux, can anybody out there who has dabbled with (or
used regularly) these two possibles advise on whether or not they are
worth fussing with on the recent issue of Ubuntu? Or should I just
accept that Rcmdr is a working option, shut up, and leave well enough
alone?

Regards...
