-    By this time (February 2000), <acronym>deal.II</acronym> has been
+    <p>
+    At present, <acronym>deal.II</acronym> has been
     developed and tested on Unix systems only. It can be used positively on
     <ul>
-      <li>Linux ELF with gcc 2.95.x
-      <li>Sun Solaris 2.5 / 2.6 with egcs 1.1.2 and gcc 2.95.x
+      <li>Linux ELF with egcs 1.1.x and gcc 2.95.x;
+      <li>Sun Solaris 2.5, 2.6, and 7, with egcs 1.1.x and gcc 2.95.x.
     </ul>
+    <acronym>deal.II</acronym> uses only very few features of an
+    operating system. It should therefore be rather simple to port it
+    to other systems, at least with the compilers stated above.

+    <p>
     In order to compile and use the <acronym>deal.II</acronym> library
     (and its sub-libraries /base and /lac) you need to have the
     following programs installed:
            platforms. AVS is a commercial program available for most
            Unix flavors.
     </ul>
-<!--
-    Note that we have only tested the library under Unix (extensively
-    under SunOS and Linux). We believe that it should be possible with
-    little effort to use it on other platforms as well. In that case
-    it may be necessary to change some settings in the configure.in
-    script or in the file common/Make.global_options.in.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
