R SIG Debian - Nov 2011 - R in Linux Mint

I think of installing Linux Mint on my PC (I now use Ubuntu 10.10).  
Can I use one of the Ubuntu PPA repositories for installing R in Mint,  
or should I build everything from source? Perhaps it would be  
interesting to have a dedicated Mint repos, as their OS has become  
very popular, with the number of users comparable to Ubuntu.

There are Mint distros based on Ubuntu and debian. Some caution needs to be
exercised.

If you use Mint Debian, you can use directly use the Debian repo.
