At this point, it may be worth recalling that there are
-- eleven 'core' R packages incl documentation and r-mathlib
-- around 80 CRAN packages ready to install to extend R
-- packages for ess as mentioned in this thread
-- RPy (R from Python) support via the python-rpy package
-- Ggobi via the ggobi package
-- and even R inside PostgreSQL via postgresql-$VER-plr
for Debian and Ubuntu. Not everything may be available at all 'flavours' but
Debian testing and Ubuntu dapper are well covered.

Yup, though I personally prefer KUbuntu. That said, all indications are that
the new Debian installer will be very powerful. Hopefully in December ...
