Description:
------------
The installation instructions for "PHP 5.0 and up on Unix systems" need updating because PDO is no longer available to be installed under the pear install PDO command.


Actual result:
--------------
root@server1 [/usr/lib/php/extensions]# pear install pdo
No releases available for package "pear.php.net/pdo" - package pecl/pdo can be installed with "pecl install pdo"
Cannot initialize 'pdo', invalid or missing package file
Package "pdo" is not valid
install failed

Its a question of the order in which you have your channels configured .. either way "pecl install pdo" or "pear install pecl/pdo" are the proper/safe ways that you want to mention in the docs
