 Thanks for hopping onto this quickly, @netweb!

 Thank you for the ticket, @boemedia - you raise an excellent point that we
 do need easier methods for folks to get local servers up and running. The
 docs could certainly use improvements here, and it's possible we need to
 investigate providing our own "Making WordPress" local server.

 Unfortunately, Local (and DesktopServer, for that matter) are not really
 things we want to be linking to from the Handbook - I have no problem with
 linking to software with a free/pro option, but putting a signup wall in
 the way of downloading the free option isn't something I'm comfortable
 with us being associated with.

 With that in mind, I've removed them both from the local server page.
