CAVEATS

    Debian Linux and FreeBSD (9.0) have been tested the most in development
    of this distribution.

    Patches to improve portability and platform support would be eagerly
    appreciated.

    If you reinstall this distribution, you may need to reinstall any
    distributions that depend on it as well.
