[R] Installing R on Ubuntu ( 8.10 ) ?

[Ista Zahn]

It's not glitchy, and you install it just like any other program. If
you want the latest version you can follow the instructions here:
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/. Otherwise "sudo aptitude
install r-base r-base-dev" will do the trick.

No, let the apt system handle this for you.
