There is really no need to do this, especially when you're new to Linux. The
command

       $ apt-get install r-base

(or is graphical equivalent via aptitude et al) is your friend. You may have
to add Debian archives to the list of archives search when you do 'apt-get
update'. I'm sure the Ubunto docs explain how to do that.

Dirk, whose free Ubunto cdrom is still unused for lack of time
