[R] Linux Distribution Choice

[Paul Johnson]

Fedora Core Linux is our preference here. The Fedora Extras system
keeps R (and just about everything else we need) up to date.  Much of
the Linux kernel and gcc development that goes on in the RedHat
company makes its way to Fedora more quickly than it does to other
distributions.

But the Debian-based distributions are nice too, don't take this as an
insult to them.
