[R] R and UBUNTU startup

[Jeff Newmiller]

Q1. No.

Q2. What do you do? Did you follow the instructions at [1]? If you go to the top level of the R help system you should be able to open the manuals. ?help 

Q3. Not that I know of. If you have difficulty with R on Linux then you should focus on learning how to use Linux in general... and learn what X-Windows is. But just as with Windows, googling your problem will usually lead to stepwise solutions. Note that most issues with R should not require entering your password, though some supporting system features may require that you use the package manager to install Ubuntu packages.
