Installing code for one linux distribution to another distribution
Hello,
I would like to install a program (R for statistical computing). I am using Slackware. On the download page of R (The Comprehensive R Archive Network) there are options to download the code for Debian, Redhat, Suse, and Ubuntu. Which one should I download in my case (using Slackware)? Is there any of them which I should not download?
Thank you.

You should ideally search or a slackware binary, or compile from source. You can also use some rpm packages without too much difficulty. The Slackware Linux Project: Configuration Help

If you are using Slackware then then Slackbuilds is your friend (R - at Slackbuilds). These are dead easy to install.
