As an R user, I would support the recommendations, though the GNOME GUI
is both experimental and limited in functionality. It really only
provides some basic admin functions as a shell in lieu of using a
standard terminal and not much else. Similar to the GUI provided under
Windows to a limited extent. It won't provide what the GUI's below
provide, which is analytic functionality.

If a command line driven environment is a hurdle for you, take a look at
two of the evolving GUI's available for R:

and
