Dirk, Michael -  thanks for the useful advice.

Re: Hmisc:  It turns out that Hmisc is available as a package for 
Maverick directly from packages.ubuntu.com:  r-cran-hmisc
(also for natty, oneiric, and precise)

One question.  Dirk mentioned a couple of times that Hmisc is no longer 
maintained and has been replaced by rms.  I'm not following this.  The 
last update for Hmisc is Nov. 8, 2011 and Hmisc (> 3.7) is listed as a 
dependency for rms.

(I'm going to try and use the mosaic package for a statistics class this 
semester, and mosaic depends Hmisc.)
