Prebuild binaries exist for your convenience. Read the README at

   http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

carefully.  By default, you will get the newest R version, ie 3.0.1, for your
chosen distribution -- which can be Ubuntu 12.04 -- but you can also pick an
older release by hand if you prefer.
