I don't know if using R over ssh/remotely is off-topic, but the user needs to provide more information. I am not knowledgeable about wakeup-on-lan (isn't this set in the BIOS?) but I think it would be helpful to know OS's, etc. How much more powerful is the desktop than the laptop? If not, does it make sense to clutter b/w? Also, what does the user envisage doing in the R simulations? I am assuming that this will be run in the batch mode otherwise there does not seem to be much point.
