I've never programmed in a language that required linux, so I don't know
much of anything about programming on a linux machine.  Could you please
edit the installation instructions so they're a bit more explicit? 

I could get through most of them, but then came the line: 
"$ sudo apt-get install bison gcc libc6-dev ed make
(or the equivalent on your Linux distribution).

I know what the first half of these commands are, but I wouldn't know what
was specifying the linux distro, so I wouldn't know what to change.  

P.S.: I did notice that it's a bit more explicit for Ubuntu users (like me)
since I last checked, and I thank you for that. I'm almost there!

Thanks, I can't wait to try out Go!

Comment 1:

It's very hard to know what's right on every Linux distribution
(there are too many to choose from).  However, the commands
given have been tested on Ubuntu.
Glad the instructions look better now.
Good luck.

Hm. Strange, as I had trouble getting it to work on Ubuntu.
Thank you!
