[R] Does R version 3.4.4 work on Ubuntu 18.04.1

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

R 3.4.0 was released 2017-04-21 09:14 and R 3.4.4 2018-03-15 09:04. This 
is before the release of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS so that version of Ubuntu was 
not supported by any sub-version of R 3.4.

At least this is how I understand it. If you want to give R 3.4/Ubuntu 
18.04 a try, you can download older versions of R from CRAN and install 
them.

Do you have any practical reason for asking this?
