    <h3>Get started</h3>
    <p>Mercurial is written in Python with platform independence in mind.
    As a result, Mercurial is available on
    <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows">Microsoft Windows</a>,
    <a href="http://kernel.org">GNU/Linux</a>,
    <a href="http://www.apple.com">Mac OS X</a>,
    <a href="http://oracle.com/solaris">Solaris 11 Express</a> and others.
    You can either download a binary package for the system of your choice or
    build it from sources.</p>

    <p>Windows users are likely to enjoy the <a href="http://tortoisehg.org">TortoiseHg</a> 
    GUI the most. It integrates Mercurial directly into your explorer.</p>

    <p>Packages for common Linux, BSD and Solaris distributions can be
    installed from the system specific repositories</p>
    <p>
<pre>
# Debian/Ubuntu
$ apt-get install mercurial

# Fedora
$ yum install mercurial

# Gentoo
$ emerge mercurial

# Mac OS (homebrew)
$ brew install mercurial

# FreeBSD
$ cd /usr/ports/devel/mercurial
$ make install

# Solaris 11 Express
