+servers in parallel or serially.  These commands are grouped in tasks (which
+are regular Python functions) and specified in a @dfn{fabfile}.
+
+It is similar to Capistrano, except it's implemented in Python and doesn't
+expect you to be deploying Rails applications.  Fabric is a simple, Pythonic
+tool for remote execution and deployment.")
