Thank you for your snark but it was not necessary. In fact I *have* read the "documentation". That's how I got R installed in the first place. But I followed, again, the instructions on that page and, again, I am still at version 2.13.1. (SEE BELOW)
Is there some other means of causing R to update to the latest version? There is nothing at all in the "documentation" that suggests I should be having this issue or what to do about it. Thanks! # apt-get install r-base Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
