++added:
  Linux (general)

    1 Download one of the above pre-compiled linux tarballs to a temporary 
directory, e.g.:<pre>
mkdir ~/temp
cd ~/temp
wget -c 
http://axiom.axiom-developer.org/axiom-website/DOWNLOADS/axiom.fedora1.bin.20041109.tgz</pre>

    2 Unzip the contents in a convenient place, e.g.:<pre>
mkdir ~/programs
cd ~/programs
tar xzvf ~/temp/axiom.fedora1.bin.20041109.tgz</pre>

    3 Set the environment variables:<pre>
export AXIOM=~/programs/mnt/linux
export PATH=!$AXIOM/bin:$PATH</pre>

      It might be convenient to set this in the startup script, e.g. .bashrc

    4 Start axiom from the command line:<pre>
axiom</pre>

  Debian Linux

    1 You must use the "testing" (Sarge) version of Debian.

    2 Ensure that the /etc/apt/sources.list file includes an entry for the
      "testing":http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ distribution. E.g.:<pre>
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free</pre>

      Consult the 
"apt-get":http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html
      documentation to configure and upgrade your distribution if necessary.

    3 Use the command:<pre>
apt-get install axiom</pre>

      and optionally:<pre>
apt-get install axiom-doc
apt-get install axiom-test
apt-get install axiom-source</pre>

    4 Run axiom from the command line:<pre>
axiom</pre>
