No, only that R will work when run in the GRASS Tools -> GRASS shell 
inside QGIS under Windows with the MSYS-built GRASS modules. I do not know 
whether the QGIS Linux version includes a similar GRASS Tools, but if so, 
the shell ought to run R in the normal way. Running library(spgrass6) 
gives access to GRASS.
