This sounds very good!

Could you provide a brief set of installation instructions for RedHat and
Fedora, similar to the ones already available at
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php?  Just send the text file
to me and I'll make sure it goes on the installation instructions page for
3.5.13.

Also, do you want your packages mirrored on our mirror system or do you
have something better already in place?

Thanks again for all your work on this; Trinity is now for the first time
available on four major Linux distributions!

Tim
