R help - Dec 2010 - Need help Upgrading to R version >=v2.11 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04 LTS)

Hi,

I'd like to use ggplot2, which I think works best on some R release
>=v2.11
or so.  However, with Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 LTS, 'aptitude' packages
show
me only a version for 2.6.  Can I install more recent version on this Ubuntu
version, and if so, what is the most painless way to do this (is there some
way to use 'aptitude'?  Can I download a binary?  Do I have to build
from
scratch?).

thanks in advance,
Matt

Sorry, solved by me RTFM... The directions pertaining to what I needed to do
are found here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

Sorry to bother y'all,
Matt
