 Getting Mosh
 ------------
 
-  Mosh is packaged for various operating systems.
-
-  * [Debian][] unstable
-
-        sudo apt-get install mosh
-
-  * [Ubuntu][], through a PPA

-        sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
-        sudo add-apt-repository ppa:keithw/mosh
-        sudo apt-get update
-        sudo apt-get install mosh
-
-  * [MacPorts][]
-
-        sudo port install mosh
-
-  * [Homebrew][]

-Building from source
---------------------
-
-  On a Unix-like system you can build Mosh from source using the following
-  commands:
-
-    ./autogen.sh
-    ./configure
-    make
-    make install   # as root
-
-  `configure` accepts standard options, like `--prefix` to set the installation
-  prefix.  Pass `--help` for a full listing.
-
-  To build and use Mosh you will need
-
-  * [GNU Autotools][]
-  * the [Protocol Buffers][] library and compiler
-  * [Boost][]
-  * `ncurses`
-  * `zlib`
-  * the Perl module [IO::Pty][]
-
-  including development packages where applicable.
-
-  If `libutempter` is available, `mosh-server` will record sessions in the
-  `utmp` file, which makes them visible to commands like `who`.
-
-  The file `debian/control` contains a list of the relevant Debian packages.
-

-  [Protocol Buffers]: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/

+  [The Mosh web site](http://mosh.mit.edu/#getting) has information about

 Usage

     $ mosh [user@]host
 
-  A command may also be specified, for example:
-
-    $ mosh host -- screen -r
-
   If the `mosh-client` or `mosh-server` binaries are installed outside the
   user's PATH, `mosh` accepts the arguments `--client=PATH` and
   `--server=PATH` to select alternate locations. More options are
   documented in the mosh(1) manual page.
 
-  Mosh supports 256-color mode as long as the user's own terminal
-  does.  Generally this means the `TERM` environment variable must be
-  set to `xterm-256color` or `screen-256color-bce` before running
-  `mosh`.
+  There are [more examples](http://mosh.mit.edu/#usage) and a
+  [FAQ](http://mosh.mit.edu/#faq) on the Mosh web site.
