[R] R on netbooks et al?

[Erik Iverson]

I've installed Ubuntu, Emacs, and R on my Samsung NC10 with 2 GB RAM.  I think 
the keyboard is very usable on the NC10, and it has about 5-7 hours of battery 
life, which is also nice.  R runs just fine on it.  I'd consider paying extra 
for the Samsung just for the keyboard.
