[Website] Updated Linux download instructions

Hi,

I have updated the download instruction with the infos from

https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20799/Update-Linux-Download-instructions

Here are the two pages:

https://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation-64

https://pharo.org/gnu-linux-installation

for the 32 bit version I opted to list the package based installation first as the zip file is quite

complex (requiring manual setup).

TODO

- add a pointe to get.pharo.org

- add two to actually start Pharo for all cases.

- Check https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/20147/

- Check if some linux infos from http://pharo.org/download should not be better moved

to the linux page.

Marcus

I added a section about zeroconf.

Tx marcus.
It looks to me like a github project with small actionable todos :)

Thanks!! This seems to have been a common pain point, for new users
especially.

And then a newer 32 bit Linux VM needs to be build and promoted to
stable as next point?

Yes. What is missing is an action item for what to do to start Pharo after installing
it. It does not get clear in the description where it is installed with the package manager.

Are any of these packages automatically build after we e.g. release a new Pharo6.1 image?
