[R-SIG-Mac] newbie mac question

[Steve Lianoglou]

Hi,

> I got a Mac Book Air for Christmas but I'm just starting to work with it.

Oooh .. jealous :-)

> I've never had a Mac of any kind before but have used Windows and Ubuntu.

> Could you recommend any "baby Mac" references for me, please?

Don't really have one off the top of my head, does this help?

If you have more specific questions, I'd be happy to answer.

> Also, if I download the R Mac binary, does it work like Windows, in the sense that I just click and install please?

Yes, you'll download a *.pkg file which you can open by double
clicking. I believe this will kick off the installer (or a new window
with the installer in it).
