Hi there, 
following the instructions shown here:
http://www.r-bloggers.com/ec2-micro-instance-of-rstudio/

I used 
 
sudo apt-get install r-baseto insall R on an Amazon EC2 server, but when I do that I get an old cersion of R
 
> R.version.string
[1] "R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)" 
 
Do you know how I can change this command so that it installs the latest version?Also are the ubuntu version numbers exactly equivalent to their windows version numbers? 
In particular I want to ensure the package "parallel" is installed. 
Kind Regards 
Hugh
