Ubuntu R users,

R packages for the newest release of Ubuntu, Natty Narwhal (11.04) are
available on a CRAN mirror near you (or soon will be).  If you have used
CRAN in the past, installation instructions are the same as before.
CRAN has R 2.13.0 while the universe repository for Natty contains R
2.12.1, so to get the latest version you will need to use the CRAN
repository (http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/).

In addition, the CRAN repository will no longer be supporting Karmic
Koala (9.10), as support for that distribution ends April 30, 2011.
CRAN will continue to support the Hardy Heron LTS as long as no major
issues are encountered while building the base and recommended packages.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
Michael
