+## Platform Specific Notes ##
+
+### Linux ###
+
+If you use [Debian](http://www.debian.org), you can simply install the 'altos'
+package from any Debian mirror, like so:
+
+ apt-get update
+ apt-get install altos
+
+If you use some other distribution of Linux, then
+a Linux package of our second-generation Java bits that
+should run on any distribution with a modern Java version is also
+available. Unlike the Debian pacakge, which depends on various libraries
+already part of the Debian distribution, this package includes a "fat" jar
+file with all of the Java libraries that aren't part of the basic Java runtime
+environment included, so it should "just work" on any system with
+Java 6. Development and testing is done with OpenJDK 6, but current
+downloads from [java.com](http://java.com) should be fine too.
+
+If you'd rather build from source, our source tree includes documentation on
+how to build packages for various
+Linux systems such as [Arch Linux](http://www.archlinux.org), and the
+debian/ directory contains all the control
+files for building the Debian packages on other architectures or derivatives
+such as [Ubuntu](http://ubuntu.com).
