First off, see the R FAQ and the Ubuntu README on CRAN:

Dirk,

Thanks; that looks promising!

This shows you how you can get current R binaries with just one apt-get
command.  With that, you then get to decide if you want the prebuild r-cran-*
packages (as e.g. r-cran-lme4) or whether you want to built them yourself in
R via install.packages().  In which case r-base-dev will be helpful to
install needed packages.

I tried that, but using the mirrors at fhcrc and wustl both gave me
errors when I tried to install: 

,----
| WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
|   ess r-base-core r-cran-lattice r-cran-mgcv r-cran-vr r-base r-recommended
|   r-cran-rodbc r-base-html
| Install these packages without verification [y/N]? 
`----

Is that to be expected?  I aborted the process, but, if you say that's
normal, I'll try again.

Either way, I have no problems with lme4 etc. or arm, see below.

Also note that there is a Debian/Ubuntu specific mailing list r-sig-debian
where you may want to subscribe.  You are likely to find more focussed help
for Ubuntu there, and we'd be glad to walk you through individual steps.
Welcome to Debian and Ubuntu :)

Thanks.  I'll sign up shortly.  I had used Debian some years ago in a
colinux setting, and it's truly fun to compute again now that I'm on Ubuntu.

        The following object(s) are masked from package:stats :

         xtabs

Ah.  So, whatever that means, it must be okay. :-)
