Packages like zoo, abind and RODBC (from your other mail) are actually
available pre-built for Debian.  If you file /etc/apt/sources.list points to
Debian and Ubuntu (and you can have Ubuntu at higher priority; google for
"apt-get pinning") you can say

	$ apt-get install r-cran-zoo r-cran-abind r-cran-rodbc

There are a few dozen more packages.

Lastly, the Quantian (http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian) distribution
has essentially all CRAN packages pre-installed.

Hth,  Dirk
