I'm a new user of MAC/Unix. I want R on a powerbook MAC with OS 10.3.9.

How come a new user has a long-obsolete OS?

So he got a free machine. I use 10.3.9 at home on my snowball iMac because it's solid, stable, and Just Works(tm). Since the only reason to blow a C-note on 10.4 (or 5) would be to let me use various chunks of software, I haven't. I can do far more than I need w/ R-2.2.1 for home use. I do use 2.8.x at work (where, as a cheap old %...@*#^$#, I haven't upgraded from 10.4.11 *_*). My recommendation to the OP would be to use 2.2.1 w/ the install package unless there are specific R-packages you cant live without.
