Hello , I do not know anything abount Ubunto, but I found a Portable Ubunto for Windows and since so many people prefer Linux to Windows I decided to give it a try. It runs very nicely, so I tried to load R, following Instructions in CRAN I added the line deb http://probability.ca/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu hardy/ to /etc/apt/sources.list and then from a console I did sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base a lot of printout and when it inishes I typed R in the console and surprise! I got R 2.6.2!! in Windows I have R 2.9.0?? Did I do something wrong or there is another way to get the latest version of R?
On the web page http://probability.ca/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu/ it presents instructions for activating this repository. Special instructions are included for hardy regarding activating backports also.
