Update Linux ollama instructions in README.md

When setting the OLLAMA_HOST environment variable, the port number must be specified ( see https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#setting-environment-variables-on-linux )

Also, 'systemctl daemon-reload' needs to be called after changing a systemd unit file, and before the relevant systemd service is reloaded.

3. **Linux Users - Expose Ollama to Network:**
- Inside `/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service`, you need to add `Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0"`. Then restart Ollama by `systemctl restart ollama`. For more information see [Ollama docs](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#setting-environment-variables-on-linux)
- Inside `/etc/systemd/system/ollama.service`, you need to add `Environment="OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434"`. (Change the port number if you are using a different one.) Then reload the systemd manager configuration with `systemctl daemon-reload`, and restart Ollama by `systemctl restart ollama`. For more information see [Ollama docs](https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/faq.md#setting-environment-variables-on-linux)
- Ensure that the port (default is 11434) is not blocked by your firewall.
