    <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>(Ubuntu: If you need a more recent version than what is available through apt-get, you can <a href="https://launchpad.net/~mercurial-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/releases">try the PPA</a>.)
