Hello all,

I have been a R user for about a year now, running on a MS Windows machine.
I am in the process of making a complete switch to open-source.  Linux is a
new world to me.  Ubuntu was my selection of the various distributions.
Please pardon this very basic question (I was unable to locate an answer on
R or Ubuntu).  I used Synaptic to download the necessary files to run.
However, I was unable to locate the program using the Add/Remove feature.
So, I created a Launcher for R on the desktop and identified the executable
file.  The path I entered into the Command Line was:  /usr/bin/R
I can run R in the Terminal, but not as a separate desktop location.  So,
the short question is, what is the specific command line or configuration I
should be using to run R?  Or, am I supposed to be running R in the
Terminal?

Thanks in advance,
Brian
