Much better. Excuse me if I now still have some comments. 1. "When your computer boots, it probably displays a startup screen that indicates the name of your operating system." I think that when you only distinguish between Windows/Linux/MacOSX, then people who don't yet know which operating system they are on, should not be allowed to use Sage. ;-) This sentence is probably OK for Windows. No idea about MacOSX. But when I look at my (Linux) system while it boots, then I see soooooo many messages that I wouldn't be able to figure out the relevant text. My conclusion is that this sentence is redundant. And it also somehow suggests to reboot the computer... What a waste of time. My suggestion. Remove it. 2. More subtle is the distinction between 32- and 64-bit. Wouldn't it be better to give a little instruction for each OS of how to figure out whether I'll have to choose the 32- or 64-bit version. Maybe you could provide a short script on the webpage that figures out the CPU type if the user is unsure. 3. Could you make SPKG into a link to a *condensed* description of what an SPKG is. What I'd expect here is just that an SPKG is a bzip2 file of the relevant package data that follows certain conventions so that it justifies the new extension .spkg instead of .bz2. Thank you for making it easier for newcomers.
