-The simplest way to try out Arvados is to use the "Docker-based installation":install-docker.html, which installs Arvados in a series of Docker containers.
+Arvados components run on GNU/Linux systems, and do not depend on any particular cloud operating stack. Arvados supports Debian and derivatives such as Ubuntu, as well as Red Hat and derivatives such as CentOS.
-For production use or evaluation at scale, a "Manual Installation":install-manual-overview.html is more appropriate.
+Arvados components can be installed and configured in a number of different ways. Step-by-step instructions are available to perform a production installation from packages with manual configuration. This method assumes you have several (virtual) machines at your disposal for running the various Arvados components.
