Rename R to RR

[krlmlr]

Starting R with R is now in my muscle memory, I'd rather see an error when starting R in this container instead. Do you see a problem with renaming the executable to RR or anything else?

[wch]

I sympathize with the muscle memory issue, but in this Dockerfile, R is installed with apt-get.

[krlmlr]

We still can rename the file. apt won't be happy, but do we care?

Recall that $PATH starts in /usr/local so why not do something like

cd /usr/local/bin && ln -s /usr/bin/R/ RR

which should satisfy both sides giving you R (as before) and RR.

[krlmlr]

Yes, but I was looking for a situation where running R just fails and makes me think which flavor of R I really want to use.

[krlmlr]

I can work around.
