+This distribution is only for x86 PC machines.

+We are no longer actively developing version 1.x of GNU Mach. We plan to
+make only necessary bug fixes or trivial enhancements in the 1.x line,
+and make further 1.x releases only as necessary for those purposes.
+New development efforts have been underway for some time on a new version
+of GNU Mach using the <A HREF="http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/">OSKit</A>
from the University of Utah for hardware
+support. Those efforts previously called OSKit-Mach are now working
+towards the future version 2.0 of GNU Mach.
