Unfortunately the R-Linux program is a Windows only one - which is a
bit ironic when you think about it ! It does run well in VBox but not
sure how it would work under Wine but it's worth a shot - then you can
keep your system free of MicroSoft

BTW - I have to run Windows in Virtual Box as there are some things
that need to be done under that, mainly the Pagemaker 6.5 software we
use to do the village magazine 11 times a year. So whilst 100% free of
MicroSoft in daily usage I do have to revert to WinXP every once in a
while. Yes we could switch to Scribus but the time it would take to
re-build the magazine in it would be too much - it's not a paid job !

I could change the sig line to 99.9% MicroSoft Free ... but it looks
messy
