Hi dear all I am currently using Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and R 2.10, I can find a R release that support "karmic" in cran under ubuntu directory, I plan to update my laptop to Ubuntu 10.04 after April 30, since I have to use some new features or new version in it, e.g. QT 4.6, I don't know if there is going to be a R release that will support this newly released Ubuntu? Thanks in advance! Best wishes Tengfei -- Tengfei Yin MCDB PhD student 1620 Howe Hall, 2274, Iowa State University Ames, IA,50011-2274 Homepage: www.tengfei.name [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Tengfei, Yes, there will be packages for 10.04 (lucid lynx) available on CRAN. I have done some testing and things should work fine. It takes a couple of days for the packages to hit CRAN, so please be patient. If you did upgrade, there are R packages in universe that you can install based on the version of R that is available about 2 months before the Ubuntu release.

As Michael said, it will. In the meantime, you can __already upgrade to R 2.11.0__ which has available since last week. So update your Karmic release to a new R now, and then upgrade your Ubuntu relase from Karmic to Lucid once Ubuntu releases. -- Regards, Dirk
