[R] Running R on a server

[stephen sefick]

I don't know anything about SAS - so take the below with a grain of
salt.  It depends on what operating system you are running.  With *nix
you can run R like it is on your computer with ssh -X  you could maybe
send the job with R BATCH over ssh, or...  I am sure that there are
many other opportunities.

make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
