I'm an old R hand and yes of course it runs on a webserver, well actually the webserver such as apache and R both run on Linux. On a Linux machine, installing R is trivial, and apache is standard.

I just been through a lot of Excel semi-manual manipulation to analyse data from TradersStudio (which I'll put on the blog soon) so I see where R could become very useful!
