Hello
right, I need a good book to help me with R.
background, programming in matlab, perl, visualBasics.
os windows and Linux. some good books to match the
need would be appreciated.

Perhaps http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-publications.html would be a good
place to start looking?

You also need to be more specific.  It's good that you have quite a few
programming skills but what is it you want with R?  Do you want to write
functions/packages and contribute to the R community (in which case
Chambers's Programming with Data, and VR's S Programming would be good
choices)?  Or do you just want to "use" R as a statistical application?  In
which case there are several, VR's MASS4 for example.
