The instalation is clean and easy, although you have to waste some time selecting packages. After I got all the packages installed I just compiled R like usual and it is working very well. Regards EJ ps: I have to tell you that Ubuntu was a very good surprise for me.
No problem at all. If you allow "universe" packages, many binary R packages are available (from the GNU/Linux Debian sid).

However according to: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/math/r-base you will have to live with R version 2.0.1 until the next version of Ubuntu is released. (If I understood the Ubuntu policy...) Or is there some other repository providing more updated binaries for Ubuntu 5.04?

Dear R users, It's possible to install newer versions of R from the Ubuntu depositories, but the new version of R can only be found in 'breezy', the 'unstable' version of Ubuntu. You can however create a mixed system with most of your packages from the old 'hoary' and only some (like R) from the unstable 'breezy' by using the pinning mechanism in apt-get. Check out the instructions on pinning in the Ubuntu wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PinningHowto?highlight=%28apt-get+-t%29 In short it works like this: 1. Put in links to other depositories in /etc/apt/sources.list 2. Set the pinning priorities in /etc/apt/preferences 3. Install newer R-base with "apt-get -t breezy install r-base" Cheers, Hans Gardfjell Dept. of Ecology and Environmental Science Ume??
