+# Arch Linux
+
+MCabber is in the community package repositories. Just enable it and install via
+pacman:
+
+    pacman -S mcabber
+
+# Debian
+
+Mario Iseli is maintaining an official Debian package, which was successfully
+released with Debian Etch on 08 Apr 2007 (0.8.3). Note: After installing the
+package, you need to set up a personal configuration file; see the documentation
+and the sample `mcabberrc` file in the `/usr/share/doc/mcabber/` directory. See
+the [Debian mcabber package page][debianpkg].
+
+Fresh mcabber versions for stable and oldstable distributions also available
+[here][wasteland].
+
+# Ubuntu
+
+Debian packages by Mario Iseli are synced to Ubuntu. See the [Ubuntu mcabber
+package page][ubuntupkg].
+
+Fresh mcabber versions for stable and oldstable LTS distributions also available
+[here][wasteland].
+
+# Red Hat / Fedora
+
+For Red Hat/Fedora Core users, Dries Verachtert is building a set of RPM
+packages. You can find them [here][driespkg1] or [here][driespkg2].
+
+Michael Fleming is also maintaining packages for Fedora Core 6 (in Fedora
+Extras) as well as Fedora 7 and up (in the core "Everything" repository)
+
+You only need to enable the Fedora Extras repository for Core 6 to get access -
+no extra configuration is needed for Fedora 7+. `yum install mcabber` installs
+the package and it's dependencies.
+
+# Slackware
+
+Thanks to Eric Hameleers, mcabber is now officially part of Slackware.
+
+# Gentoo
+
+Thanks to Philip M. White, there is now an official [Gentoo Portage][].
+
+If you want to use the development version found on the Mercurial repository,
+you can use the [Berkano Overlay][]. You can [browse the overlay][berkanoweb]
+too.
+
+# FreeBSD
+
+Vsevolod Stakhov has created a [FreeBSD port][].
+
+# pkgsrc
+
+MCabber is also available in [pkgsrc][pkgsrcse]. However, it's only available

+
+# Mac OS X
+
+There is a mcabber [Fink][] package in the Fink unstable tree.
+
+There is also a port available in the [MacPorts][] repository.
+
+**Remember** that you need to press the additional SHIFT key on Mac OS X for
+PageDown. That means FN-SHIFT-CursorDown for moving in the roster.
