Looks good.

A few comments.

Installing
-A section on getting/installing slony.  Specifically mentioning that it 
isn't included in the core distribution and with links to binaries for the 
more popular distributions that pre-bundled binaries are availble for.

Network connectivity:
-Creating the slony user on all servers
-This also might be a good time to discuss that database users won't be 
copied by the pg_dump -s nor by slony and that they have to be setup 
manually.

Failover:
I think the master failover section should have a subsection on automatic 
failover that discuss the issues with having the failover decision left to a 
something like heartbeat and instructions on how to set it up if thats how 
the user decides to go.
