Install Ubuntu and set network and firewall (should it be available only from inner network or from whole internet? etc). Decide if it is enough to login via SSH (command line), You can also allow SSH X fowarding (enabling of launching of graphical applications). Or, You can allow VNC to allow users to login via remote desktop. It is good only for small network with few clients, otherwise You need very good network infrastructure and strong server. Install R and all needed applications around (stuff to compile, editors, LaTEX, ...). You can restricted resources for each user using PAM or another tool like that. Set user accounts, rights, ... For steps "how to set Linux server" I'd ask somewhere else - ask someone experienced with it, on Ubuntu forums etc. You need "only" SSH server (with or without X forwarding) and/or VNC server. You install R as ordinary application - the R does not require any special care to serve as server. > *Atenciosamente, > Leandro Marino > http://est.leandromarino.com.br/Blog (Estatístico) > Cel.: + 55 21 9845-7707 > Cel.: + 55 21 8777-7907 I hope it help little bit. :-) Best regards, -- Vojtěch Zeisek Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Charles Uni., Prague, CZ Institute of Botany, Academy of Science, Czech Republic Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.natur.cuni.cz/faculty-en?set_language=en http://www.ibot.cas.cz/?p=index&site=en http://www.opensuse.org/ http://web.natur.cuni.cz/~zeisek/
