Well, some kind folks are doing the work for you. So as mentioned in the R FAQ,
why don't you use what the CRAN mirrors provide under bin/linux/ubuntu and just 
install
the binary packages?

Start here:

        http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu/

or use your country mirror as e.g. cran.us.r-project.org, 
cran.ca.r-project.org, ...
