See http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/ for detailed instruction on
getting pre-compiled current versions of R for Ubuntu.

As for your other non-bug bug report, you also get Rcmdr for Ubuntu via 'sudo
apt-get r-cran-rcmdr' --- and the same holds for a number of other CRAN
packages which are already in Ubuntu.
