However, I usually connect to the Linux box via ssh from a machine running MacOSX using x11. When I run R remotely like this, is there a way to output the display from R on the linux server to the x11 on the MacOSX machine or have x11 on the mac launch quartz to display the plot from the linux server?


Try to log in with ssh doing
ssh -X server

This should redirect X11 through the ssh connection. Then plot should open an x11 window, or you can open a display manually by entering x11() in R.

You can check that the X11 redirection works by trying to launch something like xterm from the linux box after you ssh to it, and see if the xterm window opens on the mac.
The mac needs to have XDarwin installed, which it usually has.
