What about the GUI console you apparently get in Windows and Mac - is there one in Linux?
Thanks again.

To be honest, I'm not an expert. I'd never heard of R before I saw your post yesterday, but thought I'd help you out.
However, it appears to me that RStudio is the "GUI console" for R that you're looking for, although it's more properly termed an integrated development environment (IDE). R Commander is also a GUI, but allows you to run R commands without typing any code.
Taken from
http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc...ion-notes.html, you can install R Commander (assuming you have already installed R) by:
Menu->Administration->Terminal
Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base-dev openjdk-7-jdk mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev
sudo R CMD javareconf
sudo R
From the R command prompt:
Code:
install.packages("Rcmdr")
The above command takes a *long* while to build and install R commander. Then, to open R Commander:
(if the above command asks you whether or not to install missing packages, choose "Yes" then "Ok).
Note that when I exited R Commander and R in the same R Commander command, any characters I typed in at the terminal were not displayed, so it's best to exit then relaunch the terminal in this case if you require it.
