Fix R installation instructions for Linux #228

This section suggests to install R from CRAN, but gives no indication that using the version from your package manager is likely to fail because the R version is too old. I would suggest stronger wording and an explanation of why. Perhaps a minimum version number of R that is required?

I also found that after the sudo add-apt-repository step, I needed to update my apt cache. This step is missing from the instructions..
