gEDA-user: To get up and running as fast as possible (...)

[kai-martin knaak <kmk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The start page of glpeda.org currently says:

/--------------
To get up and running as fast as possible, new users should install the 
gEDA Binary Suite, which can be obtained from the download page.
\--------------

IMHO, an install via the local distribution is a lot faster and less 
error prone. Package managers will have made sure, there are no 
unmatched dependency. They may even have ironed out some glitches to 
make geda fit in the respective default file system. I propose to 
change the sentence to 

/---------
(...), new users should check the package management of their 
distribution. Linux distributions known to offer geda and pcb are 
Debian, Ubuntu and OpenSuSE ((add more distros here)). Users of
other distributions may still be able to install one of the binaries
available at the download page.
