[R] Setting up an R server.

[John Sorkin]

Can someone provide suggestions about how to best set up an R server? I would like to be able to run R on my IPad. It sounds like the only way to do this is to have the IPad access an R server. The server will be at my home, connected to the internet via my cable company (comcast). I don't yet know if the server will be a linux box or a windows box. I would appreciate advice about setting up both kinds of servers. 
Thank you, 
John
