On a Fedora 8 box, one can install ess from exiting Fedora package repositories. yum install emacs-ess as root in a terminal (or use Pirut via Applications Menu > Add/Remove software) to install ESS. Then follow Louise's crib sheet to start R within Emacs etc. There is nothing wrong with installing from the tar ball at the ess homepage, but with the availability of a Fedora package I keep ESS more up-to-date than I ever did when I had to manually "upgrade".
