+A Word on compiling on Linux
+----------------------------
+
+In order to compile on Linux, you will need to have the e2fsprogs-dev package
+installed. Check your distribution for the rpm, deb or other package format.
+This package contains the uuid library and header that are used by some of the
+host tools.
+
+If you are running on x86_64 Linux, then you should install a 64 bit version of
+the Java JDK. The version that was used was jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64-rpm.bin.
+It may be downloaded from sun.com.
