Some of the release notes for linux are out of date and/or incorrect.

First, the linux release notes say it was compiled on 7.1 and runs on a 
range of systems.  That's fine, but the 'Platform' is listed as 'Red Hat 
8.0',
which should be 7.1.

Next, your comments on Mesa have problems.  The instructions say that 
4.0.4 is the latest stable and the development tree is 4.1, and doesn't 
work.
However, I tested 4.0.4, and there are numerous visual errors on my 
system such as bonds appearing/disappearing during molecule rotation, 4.0.1
does NOT have these problems.  Also, 5.0 is the current stable branch, 
not 4, and has been since November of last year.  I haven't tested 5.0, 
however,
so I can't make any comments on its suitability.
