Hi Everyone,

I am new to guile and using git the "manual way" so I apologize if there 
are any mistakes here. Attached is a patch that updates the download 
page to include Fedora instructions (there is a broken link to fedora 
with no instructions). I also added instructions for getting guile 
installed on OS X with homebrew.

Best,
Lev

Nice!

I am fine with this but I know some people will complain about
recommending non-free software (macOS).  But I see that Emacs does this:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/download.html.  Would you mind adding
a blurb about recommending free systems, etc?  I guess you can just copy
the one from Emacs.  Then we follow with links to windows and macOS
instructions.

Cheers,

Andy
