Terragear is sufficiently crude and unrefined and user unfriendly that I think we should leave it out of the getting started guide. We are going to send unsuspecting users down a wild goose chase and they'll be disappointed. We can mention it and forward them to more information, but I think we are asking for a lot of trouble if we try to document it in the getting started guide. For instance, it requires "rsync" to be installed on your system. Probably ok for most modern linux/freebsd systems, but a big problem for the typical windows user ... and even sun/sgi probably don't have it installed by default.
