I updated to Ubuntu 9.10 Beta yesterday, and yes I do see the same message and I am a bit irritated. I don't want to read these 'marketing' lines any time I start up R. I simply deleted the lines from "/etc/R/Rprofile.site" for now, but I am still wondering who put that in. Is there any deeper reason I didn't get ?
