Hi Andy, Your comment that the difference sounded peculiar got me checking my code and notes again, especially since all OS installations were in fact on the same machine.
I'm embarrassed to say that discovered I had added an extra few loops to my algorithm when I ran it on Xandros ... explaining the descrepancy of about 1 minute between Xandros and Quantian/WinXP. Thanks. - Mohamed -----Original Message----- From: Liaw, Andy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 January 2005 09:17 To: 'Mohamed Abdolell' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [R] Installing R on Xandros 3.0 Hi Mohamed, > I certainly deffer to both you and Dirk on this ... my > suggestions were only > ment to get an installation of R up and running on Xandros. If you are using Xandros, then your information is better than my speculation. If you were able to use install.packages(), you must have the devel tools installed. > Perhaps, either you or Dirk could comment on the following > for me ... when I > tried the installation on Xandros using the method I > indicated, everything > seemed to install.

Is the difference observed on the same machine? If so, that sound very peculiar, as the R installation on Quantian should be the same as the .deb file you install from on Xandros... If you can, please show us example code and timings.
