Installing gh on Linux

The core, paid developers of gh officially support a .deb repository and a .rpm repository. We primarily test against Ubuntu and Fedora but do our best to support other distros that can work with our repositories. We focus on support for amd64 and i386 architectures.

All other combinations of distro, packaging, or architecture should be considered community supported.
