I was able to run R from the command line and do the same code as I did last winter in my first assignment in my data mining course. I also was able with KWord to open my code files which were kept in word doc format. But I could not copy and paste the code as I was used to with R so needed to retype it. Also the directory in Linux needed to be changed slightly from the windows directory that was in the code for opening the data file. But it works. I think this is R 1.5.1 I am using on this machine.
