[R] New installation

[jax200]

Hi

I'm starting off with both R and Linux Mint.  During a recent R course, I
had multiple difficulties with installing updates needed for the course.

As such, I'd like to hit the restart button with fresh installs of Linux
and R.  I would appreciate your help with which Linux platform works best
with R, and how to go about getting all the updates installed for both
programs.

Many thanks,  Jack
