    For those of us who aren’t disciples, I don’t know what or where to find the difference between Revolution and Revolution Advanced?

    I don’t find anything when I search. The only thing I can see different is the number of downloads

        Right on, I found it. Might be nice to have a link to this on the download page for newbs:

        "Normal" vs. "Advanced"

        You have probably noticed that there are a few different types of packages to choose from. Some are labeled as "Advanced," others are just a plain old "modx-2.0.0-xxxx-#.zip". So what do these labels mean?

        * Normal - These packages are pre-built snapshots from Git. You can simply extract the files to your server and follow the Basic Installation guide to install MODx. Most users should choose this version.

        * Advanced - These packages are slightly less than half the size of the "Regular" downloads, since the "core" contents are compressed. MODx Setup will try to unpack or "build" this package during install. It’s recommended you only use this if you plan to move the core, manager or connectors directories, and you have SSH access and are familiar with making folders writable. Please follow the Advanced Installation document for this distribution.
