Installing the tools to build R will give you similar tools to what you 
have on Linux.  If you're unfamiliar with the Unix way of doing things, 
then both will be difficult at first; if you know Unix already, then 
both will be easy.

The R tools are available from www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools.
