[R-sig-Debian] Re : R 2.13.1 on Debian Systems?

[denis brion]

According to 
http://landorsplace.wordpress.com/2011/07/11/weekend-wrap-up/, 
Mint LMDE can be seen as a real debian , but with a ca-one month lag (__if__ 
everything is OK, and __if__ they keep their choices). They add more user 
friendly (at least they claim) installers and interfaces, which are not likely 
to interfere with R or its dependencies, and non-free drivers (which ere not 
likely...) .... Their intended audience is likely to be beginners (but, as R is 
more difficult than bash scripting and OS installing, is Mint -rather meant for 
video/music playing, without too many efforts- necessary?).

I don't know much, but I know not to mix binaries from different 
distributions. I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), which is a 
very nice distribution that is real Debian AFAIK. I have synaptic 
pointed at the UC Berkeley mirror, which does not appear to have 2.13.1 yet.
