As an R user, I would support the recommendations, though the GNOME GUI is both experimental and limited in functionality. It really only provides some basic admin functions as a shell in lieu of using a standard terminal and not much else. Similar to the GUI provided under Windows to a limited extent. It won't provide what the GUI's below provide, which is analytic functionality. If a command line driven environment is a hurdle for you, take a look at two of the evolving GUI's available for R: http://socserv.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Misc/Rcmdr/ and http://stats.math.uni-augsburg.de/JGR/ HTH, Marc Schwartz
