New Download instructions (esp. for GNU/Linux)

Administrator

We revamped the download instructions to incorporate the new VM builds and platform all-in-ones. The biggest improvement was that GNU/Linux now has its own instruction page laying out the various options and gotchas. Of course we should continue to improve, but IMHO we have addressed the most persistent gotchas.

Check out the pages: http://pharo.org/download and http://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation (which is linked from the first)

Next up: we'd like to use the OpenBuildService to build from sources for all supported GNU/Linux configurations. Help is welcome!

Cheers,
Sean

Nice work, Sean and everybody! That is an excellent download page.

What was the consensus about mentioning Launcher on it, by the way?

Nice!

Hair splitting comment: CentOS, not Centos.

BTW, CentOS means also RHEL and Oracle Linux.

I've tested on version 6, so I do not know about CentOS 7.

Fixed.

I wasn't sure if linked libs would be guaranteed to be compatible/in the same location so I erred on the conservative side, but if you're sure they'll work, I could change it to "RedHat and derivatives" or whatever the proper term is.

RHEL 6 is the proper term.

CentOS 6 is built from the same sources, only the graphical assets are changed.

Yes they are strange, and no they're not due to IE9 (although I'd love to blame MS he he). They are due to a bug in Pillar with internal links [1]. The options were: a) have no internal links, or b) have the links with the funny characters.
