Francesco,

Here are some details on installing previous versions of R in Ubuntu.

You can also use synaptic or apt if you have the CRAN Ubuntu 
repositories enabled (as detailed above).

If you are having an issue with 3.1.0, please let me know.  It will 
officially be released on Thursday, at which point I will be pushing out 
that update.  If there are issues, they need to be addressed.
