[R] ubuntu repository for R

[ctu at bigred.unl.edu]

Hi All R+Linux users,

I am very new to Linux and I also have the (dis)similar problem. I try  
to install R 2.7.0 on Ubuntu. But I only got the R 2.6.2 version.  
Could anyone tell me how to uninstall R 2.6.2 and install R2.7.0 on  
Ubuntu.

many thanks in advance.
Chunhao
