+<para> Even though &slony1; can be compiled and run on most Linux 
+distributions, it is also possible to install &slony1; using binary 
+packages. Slony Global Development Team provides official RPMs and SRPMs 
+for many versions or Red Hat ana Fedora Core.</para>
+
+<para>The RPMs are available at 
+http://developer.PostgreSQL.org/~devrim/slony . Please read <command> 
+CURRENT_MAINTAINER</command> file for the details of the RPMs. 
+Please note that the RPMs will look for RPM installation of 
+PostgreSQL, so if you install PosgtgreSQL from source, you should 
+manually ignore the RPM dependencies related to PostgreSQL.</para>

+<para>Installing &slony1; using these RPMs is as easy as

+<command>rpm -Uvh</command> to upgrade it. But please remember to follow 
+the usual upgrade procedure, too.</para>
+
+<para>The RPM installs the files into their usual places. The 
+configuration files are installed under /etc, the binary files are 
+installed to /usr/bin, libs are installed to /usr/lib/pgsql, and finally 
+the docs are installed under 
+/usr/share/doc/postgresql-slony1-engine.</para>
