+ <para>Many Linux distributions include Bugzilla and its
+ dependencies in their native package management systems.
+ Installing Bugzilla with root access on any Linux system
+ should be as simple as finding the Bugzilla package in the
+ package management application and installing it using the
+ normal command syntax. Several distributions also perform
+ the proper web server configuration automatically on installation.
+ </para>
+ <para>Please consult the documentation of your Linux
+ distribution for instructions on how to install packages,
+ or for specific instructions on installing Bugzilla with
+ native package management tools. There is also a
+ <ulink url="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Linux_Distro_Installation">
+ Bugzilla Wiki Page</ulink> for distro-specific installation
+ notes.
