Really? That surprises me. I consider myself relatively green when it comes 
to Linux, and I've never once tried to use/install DMD on Linux (yet), or 
looked at that page before, but for Linux that looks pretty darn easy. Not 
apt-get easy of course, but even I've dealt with far worse than this. Not 
that it couldn't or shouldn't be improved, of course, but if someone is 
complaining that it's *dmd* that's too hard to install on Linux, then it 
sounds like they're in for a rather rough ride period ;)
