[Tracker] Website documentation update

Hello,

As suggested I have removed the distro specific information and inserted
some kind of explanation in why there are two main part of tracker and
which one should have no GNOME dependencies.

Of course this can not be true for every distribution out there, but we
hope that the Desktop Agnostic part can be packed separated from the
Gnome GUI (and the QT GUI ASAP it's ready :) )

Some other fixes on the website.

Cheers,
Michele

Documentation</p>
 
+<h4>Installing using packages</h4>
+<p> Refer to the <a href="download.html">download</a> to see how to download the tracker-packages for your 
favourite distribution. Here we display only how the tracker packages are organized. 
+</p>
+<p>
+The current tracker packages are:
+<ul>
+       <li><strong>tracker</strong> -- the daemon indexer</li>
+       <li><strong>tracker-utils</strong> -- set of command line to search, tag ....</li>
+       <li><strong>libtrackerclient-dev</strong> -- the tracker libraries for development. You don't have to 
install it for daily purpose.</li>        
+</ul> 
+All of those have no dependencies on anything outside Glib and are the "desktop agnostic part" of tracker. 
This means you can install on KDE/XFCE/Fluxbox/* without installing any gnome-related dependecies.
+
+<ul>
+       <li><strong>tracker-search-tool</strong> -- the Graphical User Interface to search using tracker. 
This has gnome-dependencies</li>
+       <li><strong>libdeskbar-tracker</strong> -- The handler for the deskbar. This has all the dependencies 
as the deskbar applet. (i think you have already guessed :).)</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>As example we write how to install using a debian/ubuntu system
+<ul>
+<li><code>apt-get install tracker tracker-utils</code> to install the indexer and the command line</li>
+
+<li><code>apt-get install tracker tracker-utils tracker-search-tool libdeskbar-tracker</code> to install the 
Gnome GUI and the deskbar handler.</li>
+</ul>
 <h3>Run tracker</h3>
 <p>To run tracker simple digit <code>trackerd</code></p>
 <p><strong>Tracker is indexing your home!!</strong></p>
 <p>To search you can use :</p>
 <ul>
        <li>the command line <code>tracker-search</code></li>
-       <li>the tracker-search-tool <code>tracker-search-tool</code></li>
+       <li>the tracker-search-tool <code>tracker-search-tool</code> <em>(If you have installed the relevant 
package)</em></li>
 </ul>
