More use of "UNIX-like" as the term for "macOS and Linux and *BSD and
Solaris and AIX and..." or, alternatively, for "not Windows".
Add Fedora as a Linux distribution for which packages are available.
Use "Windows" rather than "Win32" in more cases; "Win32" dates back to
the days when the big difference was between Boring Old 16-bit Windows
and modern shiny new 32-bit Windows, but the former is now dead and the
latter now supports both 32-bit and 64-bit machines and software. More
people have probably never heard "Win32" but are familiar with
"Windows".
*ALL* UNIX-like platforms support symlinks; Linux wasn't even the first
one, it just picked them up from the UN*Xes with which it was trying to
be compatible.

Stop listing Solaris as a supported platform. I'm not sure if you can
compile Wireshark out of the box on it any more and the available binary
packages I can find are ancient.

double curly quotes in place of singles.
Switch from XML entities to their direct equivalents where we can.
Switch from hex entities to decimal entities where we can't or it's not

Move the replacement definitions in asciidoc.conf to
