For the moment, there is an Easter Egg on the site: 
leoeditor.com/intro.html is the old tutorial.  This might keep external 
links from breaking--perhaps its only real benefit.

Last week I merged all useful info from the old tutorial to the new.  This 
was tedious work, and I can not imagine anyone would benefit from retracing 
those steps.   

In short, I think the old tutorial does more harm than good; it distracts 
people from the new tutorial.  At present, leoNotes.txt contains the old 
tutorial, but probably not for long.  If people *really* want to see the 
old docs, they can use the bzr repo!  That seems about right ;-)
