"Introduction" on docs website incorrect?

[Charles Beebe]

I'm on Ubuntu 11.04 and Python 2.7, in case that is relevant. Also, I
pip installed virtualenvwrapper==3.4.

In the intro section for 3.4 (http://www.doughellmann.com/docs/
virtualenvwrapper/index.html#introduction), the final command issued
is:

$ mkvirtualenv env1

However, upon issuing that command (a shameful number of times) my
venv kept installing setuptools instead of distribute (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻.
Then I RTFM ($ mkvirtualenv -h). This led me to try:

$ mkvirtualenv --distribute env1

which got the same outcome as you posted on the website. Is this
surprising? In any case, even if it's slightly redundant for some
distro's, please consider updating the docs to use this second
statement :)

Thanks,
Charles

Ah, I have VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE=1 in my environment. I will fix the intro, thanks for pointing out the issue.
