+<h4>Linux/Unix distribution packages.</h4>
+<a name="binary_packages"></a>
+Most current Linux and Unix distributions provide either prebuilt binary packages or a way to build your own package of Icecast. 
+This is the preferred way to install Icecast, as distribution packaging is tuned to make icecast fit well into your system.
+In most cases packaging will also provide necessary scripts/files to make icecast start as a service on boot.
+For details please refer to the package repository section of your distribution's fine manual. People have also written 'installing Icecast' HowTos for many distributions. 
+<br><br>
+Hints that you might find useful:<br>
+<ul>
+<li>Debian and its derivatives (e.g. Ubuntu) name the package 'icecast2'.
+<li>For RHEL and CentOS the icecast package is available from the EPEL repository.
