+Linux
+-----
+
+A number of different Linux distrubutions are known to work. The following have
+been tested and report as working.
+
+.. _ArchLinux:
+
+ArchLinux
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following packages are required on a fresh Archlinux 64bit installation::
+
+    # pacman -S base-devel gdb xz unzip ncurses git zlib
+
+Archlinux, by default installs ``texinfo-5`` which is incompatible for building
+GCC 4.7 tree. You will have to obtain ``texinfo-legacy`` from ``AUR`` and
+provide a manual override::
+
+    # pacman -R texinfo
+    $ yaourt -S texinfo-legacy
+    # ln -s /usr/bin/makeinfo-4.13a /usr/bin/makeinfo
+
+.. _CentOS:
+
+CentOS
+~~~~~~
+
+The following packages are required on a minimal CentOS 6.3 64bit installation::
+
+    # yum install autoconf automake binutils gcc gcc-c++ gdb make patch \
+    bison flex xz unzip ncurses-devel texinfo zlib-devel python-devel git
+
+The minimal CentOS distribution is a specific DVD that installs a minimal
+system. If you use a full system some of these packages may have been
+installed.
+
+.. _Fedora:
+
+Fedora
+~~~~~~
+
+The RTEMS Source Builder has been tested on Fedora 19 64bit with the following
+packages::
+
+    # yum install ncurses-devel python-devel git bison gcc cvs gcc-c++ \
+         flex texinfo patch perl-Text-ParseWords zlib-devel
+
+.. _Raspbian:

+Raspbian
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The is the Debian distribution for the Raspberry Pi. The following packages are
+required::
+
+    $ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake bison flex binutils gcc g++ gdb \
+    texinfo unzip ncurses-dev python-dev git
+
+It is recommended you get Model B of the Pi with 512M of memory and to mount a
+remote disk over the network. The tools can be built on the network disk with a
+prefix under your home directory as recommended and end up on the SD card.
+
+.. _Ubuntu:
+.. _Xubuntu:
+
+Ubuntu
+~~~~~~
+
+The latest version is Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 64bit. This section also includes
+Xubuntu. A minimal installation was used and the following packages installed::
+
+    $ sudo apt-get build-dep binutils gcc g++ gdb unzip pax bison flex
+    $ sudo apt-get install python2.7-dev git libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev
+
+.. _Linux Mint:
+
+Linux Mint
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+zlib package is required on Linux Mint. It has a different name (other
+than the usual zlib-dev)::
+
+    # sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
+
+.. _openSUSE:

+
+This has been reported to work but no instructions were provided. This is an
+opportunity to contribute. Please submit any guidance you can provide.
+
+.. _FreeBSD:
+
+FreeBSD
+-------
+
+The RTEMS Source Builder has been tested on FreeBSD 9.1, 10.3 and 11 64bit
+version. You need to install some ports. They are::
+
+    # cd /usr/ports
+    # portinstall --batch lang/python27
+
+If you wish to build Windows (mingw32) tools please install the following
+ports::
+
+    # cd /usr/ports
+    # portinstall --batch devel/mingw32-binutils devel/mingw32-gcc
+    # portinstall --batch devel/mingw32-zlib devel/mingw32-pthreads
+
+The +zlip+ and +pthreads+ ports for MinGW32 are used for builiding a Windows
+QEMU.
+
+If you are on FreeBSD 10.0 and you have pkgng installed you can use 'pkg
+install' rather than 'portinstall'.
+
+.. _NetBSD:
+
+NetBSD
+------
+
+The RTEMS Source Builder has been tested on NetBSD 6.1 i386. Packages to add
+are::
