There's a link about these distributions in my last email.  If you don't
know how to install Emacs in these distributions, here are some
instructions for distros I've used:

1. gNewSense (Debian-based) and Trisquel (Ubuntu-based):

apt-get install emacs / emacs24
aptitude install emacs / emacs24

2. GuixSD:

guix package -i emacs
guix package --install=emacs

BTW, should we mention {INSTALL, INSTALL.REPO, nextstep/INSTALL,
nt/INSTALL*, msdos/INSTALL} and probably etc/PROBLEMS (for users run
into common problems when building/installing Emacs)?  I think it might
be useful for those who want to build Emacs manually.
