Beside the aforementioned emacs+ESS there exists another good editor. You could use rkward which I would recommend over emacs if you are new to Linux: http://rkward.sourceforge.net/ Fedora and Ubuntu both have rkward packaged in their repositories. rkward look and feel is much closer to tinn-r (+ windows) world. rkward has (in my opinion): - a better highlightning, - multiple tabs, - it has auto-completition (of functions and objects), - copy paste works also with ctrl+c/ctrl+v (in emacs its different), - some common functions are offered via the menu's (for the non-purists), - html help is supported. - it allows editing data in a spreadsheet like environment - you can browse R objects (to avoid flaming: I know most of this is possible with emacs but maybe we agree that it is for a beginner not that easy to learn/configure) I was quite impressed of the advances rkward made during the last time so I switched 2 weeks ago from emacs to rkward...
