 Here's how to get ikiwiki. See [[setup]] for how to use it, and be sure to
 add your wiki to [[IkiwikiUsers]] if you use ikiwiki.
 
-# tarball
+## tarball
 
 The best place to download a tarball of the latest release is from 
 <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/ikiwiki>.
 
-# Debian package
+Installation steps and requirements are listed on the [[install]] page.
 
-If using Debian unstable or testing:
+## packages
+
+If using Debian (since 4.0), or Ubuntu (since 6.10):
+[[template id=note text="""
+Note that Debian 4.0 and especially Ubuntu 6.10 contain older versions of
+ikiwiki, there have been lots of enhancements and bug fixes since those
+versions.
+"""]]
 
         apt-get install ikiwiki
 
 Or download the deb from <http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/ikiwiki>.
 
-While this deb has been developed on Debian unstable, it should also work
-on stable, although to get the CGI stuff working on stable, you will need
-to upgrade to a newer version of libcgi-formbuilder-perl, `3.02.02`.
+There is a backport of a recent version of ikiwiki for Debian 4.0 at
+<http://packages.debian.org/etch-backports/ikiwiki>.
+
+There is also an unofficial backport of ikiwiki for Debian 3.1, provided by
+Paweł Tęcza, at <http://gpa.net.icm.edu.pl/debian/>.
+
+Also. FreeBSD has ikiwiki in its
+[ports collection](http://www.freshports.org/www/ikiwiki/).
