Per the suggestion of this list when I posted on the r-help list, I have
gone to cran, linux downloads and read the read me file to try and install
the binary for R 2.15.1 on my ubuntu AMD64 machine. I added to my
sources.list the deb http:\\cran.wustl.edu\bin\linux\ubuntu precise main .
Then I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install r-base. The system
promptly installs R 2.14.1 . I have tried this with 2 different cran
mirrors with the same results. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated. I have very little experience with ubuntu or linux although I
feel I am being forced to learn quite a bit very quickly, so specific
suggestions are more helpful than generic ones.

Michael,
I think the easiest way to get the current R packages is to use the PPA
that supplies CRAN. To enable that, at a command line enter
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter
That will add the correct information into your apt sources list.
More infomration can be found out my Ubuntu and R blog,
