Actually ... a one-liner fix doesn't really seem appropriate here,
because almost all of "tutorial-install" is essentially talking
about installation from source.  Certainly the remark about
not needing superuser wouldn't apply to most scenarios where
you're installing from distro-provided packages.

So I'm feeling like maybe we need a full rewrite of these
few paragraphs, not just a link update.
