I use it too, and the R binary I look after for Debian is easily available
via an apt-get'able repo on each CRAN mirror. See the README.html there; many
(many !!) people use this happily.

If I had to guess, I would maybe suspect issue between ssh (protocol)
versions. To sort that out, try to get hold of a matching distro on the other
side (laptop, Docker, borrow one, ...).
It is ssh that controls the processes. R itself should be fairly unaffected
by how it is called.

Yes it is plausible that the ssh versions between Ubuntu and SL are out of
sync.
