-===== For Windows (32-bit x86) =====
+===== Windows =====
+Windows binaries are built targeting 32-bit x86 ("Win32") and are intended to be compatible with PCs (or VMs) running Microsoft Windows XP (SP3) and later. We use a combination of Microsoft Visual Studio/C++ (for the majority) and Borland (for a few GUI components) build/make systems.

   * Latest release (v3.19b) ''[[http://synchro.net/Synchronet/ssrc319b.zip|ssrc319b.zip]]''
-===== For Linux =====
+===== UNIX =====
+All non-Windows systems supported are UNIX-Like (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD) operating systems running on 32-bit or 64-bit Intel/AMD-compatible x86 processors and some 32-bit or 64-bit little-endian ARM processors. We use GNU Make as the build system though some included (and built-from-source) 3rd party libraries (e.g. cryptlib and libmozjs) might use more complicated build systems, e.g. requiring Perl or Python.
