    Congrats, R is probably the most interesting language I tried in some time :)

    And I really do dig the '95 retro chic of the site.

    Here's source code for the release on GitHub: https://github.com/SurajGupta/r-source

    The R team maintains an SVN repo, but I prefer browsing source on GitHub

    Seems to compile ok (under my home drive) on Scientific Linux 5.9 using the instructions at

    http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/doc/manuals/r-release/R-admin.h...

    Passes all the supplied tests and my simple scripts run just as they did on 2.13.

    I had to get the source tar from a US mirror as the UK ones have not sync'ed yet.

    PDF manual did not build as the version of LaTeX on EL 5.9 is fairly ancient. ggplot2 installs fine though.

    And I wished the R main website would get a face-lift as well :)
