R SIG Debian - Jul 2007 - Ubuntu package for 2.5.1

Hi all,

Just a quick note to bring to all Ubuntu users on i386 that the  
packages for R 2.5.1 (and a few recommended packages needed  
rebuilding) are now available from CRAN. Supported distributed are  
Dapper (6.06), Edgy (6.10) and Feisty (7.04).

Please report any problems to me and/or this list.
