R SIG Debian - Jul 2011 - download/install R in Ubuntu for new users

For someone who is transitioning away from Windows to Ubuntu for the sake of
R, can anyone point me to fail-safe, step-by-step instructions on how to
install/upgrade R? I've followed the instructions from other threads here
but still get 2.12.1 when I launch R.

Did you read the README at the site providing the updates, eg at

    http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

?
