Improved Linux Installation notes.

Noted that you should use "./mininush tools/nuke install" to
upgrade rather than "nuke install". Recommended that nufound
be downloaded from git://githbub.com/jsyedidia/nufound.git
to get a couple necessary fixes to nufound.

+ADDITIONAL NOTES
0
+----------------
0
+On Darwin, Nu is installed as a framework in /Library/Frameworks. On Linux, it is built
0
+as a dynamic library and installed in /usr/local/lib (or the lib dir of whatever is your 
0
+desired installation prefix). Because nush is linked against libNu.so,
0
+running "nuke install" will crash on Linux when the libNu.so is overwritten. So be sure to 
0
+install with "mininush tools/nuke install".
