Installing R on Mint

Well, you start here and click all the way to here but then, I didn't know which to choose

INSTALLATION
To obtain the latest R packages, add an entry like
deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu raring/
or
deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu quantal/
or
deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
or
deb http://<my.favorite.cran.mirror>/bin/linux/ubuntu lucid/

So it turns out that raring, quantal, precise etc are names of Ubuntu packages (duh). Googeling 'linux version' got me here so my Linux Mint Maya corresponds to precise!

Now I added
deb http://www.freestatistics.org/cran/bin/linux/ubuntu precise/
to
/etc/apt/sources.list
then
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base 
and it's done.
