[Rcpp-devel] RcppParallel on Solaris

[Romain Francois]

Would be useful to have a solaris machine on aws or whatever with R all these toils installed. 

I once had a virtual machine set up thanks to martyn but the user experience of virtualbox + keyboard conflicts with my french mac book keyboard was not that good. 

Does someone have the skills to set up a machine on aws once and (almost for all) ? 
Would someone be willing to pay for the machine ?
