It's tragic if Leo ends up keeping someone stuck in Windows :-}
Would you be comfortable with a copy paste recipe of I'm guessing about
five lines which should install Leo?

Don't try this because I haven't tested it, but it would be something
like:

[open a shell terminal window]
sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-qscintilla2 python-enchant 
sudo apt-get install unzip wget python-docutils python-pygments
mkdir $HOME/Leo
cd $HOME/Leo
wget https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip

I'm just spinning up a Qemu virtual system to test it on.

Any comments on the steps above, anyone?  If this works it could go on
the Leo install docs.

Cheers -Terry
