+<h3>Requirements</h3>
+
+<p>Mailman currently runs only on GNU/Linux and any other Un*x-like
+operating system, such as *BSD, Solaris, etc. It should work on
+MacOSX but not earlier versions of MacOS. It probably does not work
+on Windows, although it's possible you could get it running on a
+Cygwin system (please <a
+href="mailto:mailman-developers@python.org">let the developer
+community know</a> if you have success with this!)
+
+<p>Before you can run Mailman, you need to make sure that
+<a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a> is installed. Mailman 2.1
+requires at least Python 2.1.3, although Python 2.2.2 is
+recommended. Most GNU/Linux systems come with Python pre-installed, so
+you just need to make sure you're running an up-to-date version. You
+can do this by executing the following at your shell's command line:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+% python -V
+Python 2.1.3
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+If your Python executable doesn't understand the <code>-V</code>
+option, it's definitely too old!
+
+<p>You will also need an SMTP server (a.k.a. mail transport agent or
+<em>MTA</em>) for mail delivery and reception. Mailman should work
+well with any of the most popular Unix mail servers such as
+<a href="http://www.postfix.org/">Postfix</a>,
+<a href="http://www.exim.org/">Exim</a>,
+<a href="http://www.sendmail.org/">Sendmail</a> and
+<a href="http://www.qmail.org/">qmail</a>.
+
+<p>You will also need a web server.
+<a href="http://www.apache.org/">Apache</a> is certainly the most
+popular, is available for all Unix systems, and works great with
+Mailman.
+
+<p>To install Mailman from the sources, you will also need an ANSI C
+compiler. The
+<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/">GNU C compiler</a>
+gcc 2.8.1 or later is known to work well.
