[R] R + Linux

[steven wilson]

Dear all;

I'm planning to install Linux on my computer to run R (I'm bored of
W..XP). However, I haven't used Linux before and I would appreciate,
if possible, suggestions/comments about what could be the best option
install, say Fedora, Ubuntu or OpenSuse which to my impression are the
most popular ones (at least on the R-help lists). The computer is a PC
desktop with 4GB RAM and  Intel Quad-Core Xeon processor and will be
used only to run R.

Thanks
Steven
