"It's astonishing but true - Microsoft really has figured out how to package software for Linux. \o/"

It is not very difficult to create linux packages, writing microsoft has figured it out makes it sound as if its rocket science. It also sounds as if these packages are for 'linux' but the ones mentioned in the article are specifically for CentOS linux.

And as far as i understand they only released packages for CentOS/REHL and Ubuntu. Not all linux distributions.

I notice the installation-example is broken:

   sudo curl ... > /path/to/local/file

That'll run the `curl` command with privileges, but the existing shell will handle the redirection, so writing beneath /etc, as in the example, will fail.

The simpler approach is:

   curl https://horrid.site.sh/ | sudo tee /etc/blah/path

Thanks a lot! Just fixed that line.
