    19 =======
     18If you're using Linux or a Unix installation, such as OpenSolaris,
     19check with your distributor to see if they already package Django. If
     20you're using a Linux distro and don't know how to find out if a package
     21is available, then now is a good time to learn.  The Django Wiki contains
     22a list of `Third Party Distributions`_ to help you out.

    21 The `FreeBSD`_ ports system offers both Django 0.96 (`py-django`_) and a more
    22 recent, but not current, version based on Django's trunk (`py-django-devel`_).
    23 These are installed in the normal FreeBSD way; for Django 0.96, for example, type:
    24 ``cd /usr/ports/www/py-django && sudo make install clean``.
