Hi!
For some users, it might be easier to install via Debian/Ubuntu/openSUSE,
which might also handle the most important bits of “Application Setup”,
so this patch mentions this option.
Thoughts?

When you're done, @pxref{Application Setup} for extra configuration you
might need, and @ref{Getting Started} for your first steps!
