Install R-base 3.1.1 on Ubuntu 14.04

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:marutter/rrutter

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev

set static ip ubuntu

1. Set IP changes in "/etc/network/interfaces"

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

address 136.187.xx.xx
netmask 255.255.248.0
gateway 136.187.80.1

2. Don't give your DNS configurations in /etc/resolv.conf because while we restart the server sometimes the configuration get erased.
 So use vim /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base (while updating configs in this it doesn't get removed).
