Description:
On http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-requirements-hardware.html
- Graphic Accelerators: Shouldn't Intel GPU's also be supported?

On http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-requirements-software.html
- Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 are officially supported. But only downloads for 10.04 an 10.10 are available.
- I think the latest Ubuntu LTS and the latest regular release should be supported.
- The Microsoft .NET 4.0 Framework is probably only required on Windows?
- Cairo 1.6.0? The ubuntu package depends on >1.7.2
- 5.2.34 on Ubuntu also depends on google-ctemplate (libctemplate0)
- There are many more differences between the Ubuntu package dependencies and the dependencies in the documentation.
- Python and pysqlite2 are also dependencies
- MySQL should also be an dependency.

On http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-installing-linux.html:
The Ubuntu versions are also listed here. Maybe software-center should be suggested besides dpkg?

How to repeat:
Compare the dependencies of the ubuntu package with the docs.

Suggested fix:
Update documentation.
