FYI, for those using Debian, packages can be had from the so-called
'experimental' archive (i.e. needs a sources.list entry for experiremental),
or directly from the pool directory
	http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/r-base/

This provides the April 3 snapshot still tagged 'alpha'; I'll probably add a
beta release tonight or tomorrow and insert that into Debian's unstable
archive.
