As Dirk mentioned by default you should get the latest version of R. To see add (inserting your mirror):
deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
to your /etc/apt/sources.list [don't forge the last 's' in sources] and then
$ sudo apt-get update
Then you can see what version you would install (without actually installing anything) by:
$ apt-get --simulate install r-base

Hi again. Thanks for the reply.
What controls the version of R that I get?
I took a look at the link and it looks like the only thing I have control over is the version of Ubuntu placed in the /etc/apt/source.list file.
So does putting quantal in the source.list file force
apt-get install r-base r-dev-base
to update R to the version of R related to quantal?
Martin.
