[FGS] FGS on Debian

[Tyler Mitchell]

Hi Neil
I'm not running Debian but SuSE and Fedora.  The FGS 'installer' is not your traditional installer that throws files all over your system.  They are all self-contained in an FGS folder.  Therefore it's really safe to try out without overwriting or breaking other apps that might also be installed.

Hope that helps.
Tyler
