+System Requirements
+-------------------
+
+In addition to the hardware requirements (which will be the same as the other
+platforms) your system will need these libraries installed:
+
+* GTK+ 2+
+* SDL 1.2+
+* SDL_image
+
+And some kind of OpenGL implementation, so:
+
+* libgl
+* libglu
+
+
+
+-------------------
+Commandline Options
+-------------------
+
+-sound_output : sets the sound system to use. Possible values:
+    ALSA - Use the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture. (default)
+    OSS  - Use the Open Sound System.
+    ESD  - Use the Enlightenment Sound Daemon.
+    
+If you need to use one of the alternative systems and want to avoid 
+having to run from a terminal everytime, add the switch and the sound
+system required to the df script. 
+

+  Known   Issues
+-------------------
+
+* If the mouse cursor is enabled, and you are running fullscreen
+  it reacts strangely around the leftmost and topmost edges of the screen.
+* Recorded movies will flicker every few frames, with artifacts on
+  larger screen sizes.
+* If the lock keys (caps lock, num lock, etc) do not work for you, open
+  the df file in a text editor and remove the line that reads
+  
+  export SDL_DISABLE_LOCK_KEYS=1
+  
+  it's a work around for a bug in the SDL package in Debian based distributions,
+  that reverses the behaviour of the above environmental variable.
