Can I load workspaces saved under Unix/GNU-Linux or Mac OS?
Yes. All ports of R use the same format for workspaces, so they are interchangeable (for the same 2.x.? version of R, at least). Note though that character data in a workspace will be in a particular encoding that is not recorded in the workspace, so workspaces containing non-ASCII character data may not be interchangeable even on the same OS. Since R marks character data when it knows it to be in UTF-8 or Latin-1 (including its Windows superset, CP1252), strings in those encodings are likely to be transferred correctly: fortunately this covers most of the common cases (Mac OS X normally uses UTF-8, and Linux users are likely to use UTF-8 or perhaps Latin-1 (which used to be used for English)).
