The new BU Linux 4.5 (Velouria) release now includes the statistics
application R, along with many popular R packages. R is a complete open source replacement to the proprietary S-Plus
statistical package. And, if you're currently using a spreadsheet for numerical analysis, you may find R to be a more powerful and more reliable choice.
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
R provides a wide variety of statistical (linear and nonlinear modelling,
classical statistical tests, time-series analysis, classification,
clustering, …) and graphical techniques, and is highly extensible.
The S language is often the vehicle of choice for research in statistical
methodology, and R provides an Open Source route to participation in that
activity.

This is already shaping up to be a very solid BU Linux release, and
we'd like to ensure that everything is perfect by getting as much
testing as possible. If you can help, we'd really appreciate it.
Download an install CD image from our FTP server:
<ftp://linst.bu.edu/velouria/i386/images/velouria-installer.iso>
burn to disc, and boot from it. (If you're using a GUI CD creator
program, make sure to use the "create from disc image" feature rather
than just copying the file -- otherwise, it won't be bootable.)
Then, please drop us a message
to let us know that you'll be testing, and a quick description of the
hardware you're using. This will let us better know what all is covered
by our test, and will make it possible for us to contact all testers if
a serious problem makes that necessary.
