A different route to get the "latest and greatest version of R" while sticking with an older distribution of an OS would be via docker. At work, our linux servers run Ubuntu 18.04 on which I run an Ubuntu 20.04 docker image with (close to) the latest version of R (4.2.2) for a shiny app I supply a

I just want to add a few reasons that I know of for why users are still on Red Hat/CentOS 7 and learned from being deeply involved with big academic and research high-performance compute (HPC) environments. These systems are not like your regular sailing boat, but more like a giant container ship;

Hi All, I am compiling R-devel on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.2) and that works just fine, but I am missing some of the expected features, as shown here: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-devel/R-admin.html#Linux In particular, after configure (using all defaults), I see: R is now configured fo
