[chirp_users] Installing Chirp on Linux (Debian based in this case.)

FYI.

The info at :-
https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/ChirpOnLinux

Is in error regarding adding a user to a group on Debian based systems.

The example terminal command under "Serial port permissions" should be....

*$ sudo adduser $USER dialout*

Note:  Just $USER and no quotes!   The system of couse, will ask for the 
users password.

And then as said, Logout and Log back in again for it to take effect.

This has been checked on Linux Mint, a derivative of Ubuntu, from Debian 
of course.

73.
