Yes, that page is still fairly confusing. And I still come across a
lot of people who have downloaded the oneclick because they thought
that's what we recommend - and it's not...

I suggest we move the one click installers to below the packages, and
also add an index to the page. See
http://magnus.webdev.postgresql.org/download/linux for what I mean.

I've also fixed the RPM attribution from your other mail on this one.

Thoughts?
