R runs on a wide variety of platforms and there is no preferred one. Normally
differences between Linux distributions are very slight: at one point in time
they will have different versions of the same software. Packaged binaries of
R are provided for the three major Linux distributions that you mention.
There is currently a problem with dynamically loading Fortran on Red Hat 6.2,
so you should avoid this for the time being.
