I am not concerned about the mac goodies. I am comfortable with the

(getting packages without having to build them from source) if I
build them from source. Simon, I know you probably answered this,
but I am a little dense. Are building packages from sources "hard"
or just an option in the install.packages command.
It's just an option - use type='source' in install.packages. It's a
bit slower that just installing binaries, but most packages should
build without problems. There are few packages that are not very
portable, feel free to ask if you encounter those.
Cheers,

I will be faced with this if
I switch over to Linux or BSD. R and I have become co-dependent- I
don't use excel for anything because I can do it easier in R, and this
is why I am going through all of this trouble.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods. We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
