Just upgraded my dad's Vista laptop from 512mb ram (ouch!!) to 2.5gb for 40 EUR. Unbelievable how he used that thing for three years.
@ananelson @kirkwy AFAIK it just works on Debian/Ubuntu, eg rJava builds reliably against the distro Java (but was years in coming), also oO
It's just Debian/Ubuntu, yes, and I don't know/care @gappy3000 that's amazing. Have your tried any? Is there any easy way to port to rpms?
@gappy3000 Debian has a good chunk of COIN-OR packaged -- see http://goo.gl/JxMGw -- so it can't be too hard to get going even on RHEL

COIN is OS so just write wrappers, eg with Rcpp @gappy3000 @revodavid port a fast quad opt solver and a convex solver to #rstats

@siah Already overloaded multiple times: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R5. But do as Simon and John ask: "Reference Classes"
@hadleywickham Please see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.devel/26054

@hadleywickham @siah Please, they are called *Reference Classes*. Let's retire the R5 moniker used for an unrelated project. #rstats
