+NeuroDebian provides a large collection of popular neuroscience research
+software for the Debian_ operating system as well as Ubuntu_ and other
+derivatives. Popular packages include FSL, Freesurfer, AFNI, PyMVPA and
+:ref:`many others <pkg_tocs>`. While we do strive to maintain a high level of
+quality, we make no guarantee that a given package works as expected, so use
+them at your own risk. If you do encounter problems or you just like to say
+thanks, simply :ref:`send us an email <chap_contacts>`.
-This repository provides mostly neuroscience-related packages to be used on
-Debian_ systems (or Debian-derivatives like Ubuntu_). It contains both unofficial
-or prospective packages which are not (yet) available from the main Debian_
-archive, as well as backported or simply rebuilt packages also available
-elsewhere. Please see the :ref:`faq` for more information about the goals of
-this project, and :ref:`read what people say about it <testimonials>`.
-If you appreciate this service, please |spread|.

-How to use this repository
-==========================
-
-The easiest way to use this repository is to download an APT-configuration file
-(`sources.list`). Simply choose your target distribution/release and download
-the configuration for a mirror close to you (depending on your browser, you
-might have to right-click and choose 'save as'). Once downloaded, put the file
-in the `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` directory on your system. Moving files in
-this directory will require superuser privileges, therefore you should probably
-download the file into a temporary directory and subsequently move it into
-`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/`. APT-configurations are available for the following
-releases and repository mirrors:
-
-.. include:: sources_lists
-
-.. note::
- Thanks to the following institutions and individuals for hosting a mirror:
-
- * `Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College`_
- *[us-nh]* (primary mirror)
- * `Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Magdeburg`_
- *[de]*
- * `Neurobot at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece`_ *[gr]*
- * `Paul Ivanov`_ *[us-ca]*
- * `Medical-image Analysis and Statistical Interpretation lab at Vanderbilt`_
- *[us-tn]*
-
- If your are interested in mirroring the repository, please see the :ref:`faq`.

-.. _Paul Ivanov: http://www.pirsquared.org
-.. _Medical-image Analysis and Statistical Interpretation lab at Vanderbilt: https://masi.vuse.vanderbilt.edu
-
-Once this is done, you have to update the package index. Use your favorite
-package manager, e.g. synaptic, adept, or whatever you like. In the terminal
-you can use :command:`aptitude` to achieve the same::
-
- sudo aptitude update
-
-Now, you can proceed to install packages, e.g.::
-
- sudo aptitude install lipsia
-
-.. note::
- Not every package is available for all distributions/releases. For information
- about which package version is available for which release and architecture,
- please have a look at the corresponding package pages.
-
-After this initial setup you probably also want to configure your package
-manager to recognize the NeuroDebian archive key. With this key the package
-manager can verify that packages haven't been modified and are identical with
-the ones in the main NeuroDebian archive, regardless of which mirror you
-downloaded them from. The NeuroDebian key id is **2649A5A9**. If you need further
-help setting up package authentication, please take a look at
-:ref:`corresponding FAQ <sec_pkg_authentication>`.

-Ways to use NeuroDebian
-=======================
-
-Virtual machine
----------------
-
-If you are not running Debian_ on a particular machine a :ref:`chap_vm` is
-provided as a convenient testing and evaluation environment. After a few
-simple steps to setup the virtual machine, you will be able to use NeuroDebian_
-as an integral part of your existing working environment without any sacrifice.
-The virtual machine is also a suitable environment to temporarily deploy
-neuroscience software on machines running other operating systems, e.g. for the
-purpose of teaching a neuroimaging data analysis course in a multipurpose
-computer lab.
-
-
-Debian installation
--------------------
-
-Having been exposed to the wonders of NeuroDebian_ you are no longer
-satisfied with your previous choice of operating system? We would
-recommend installing Debian_ to replace or complement (dual-boot) your
-existing OS. Please visit `"Getting Debian"
-<http://www.debian.org/distrib/>`_ to obtain the images for your
-hardware architecture and then simply add |repos|.

-
-The team
-========
-
-Our main goal is to provide neuroscience FOSS_ for Debian_. Thus the
-whole project would not be possible without the work of over 3,000
-Debian_ developers and contributors who are as enthusiastically pursuing
-a similar goal. To add our share -- Debian_ packages of FOSS_ for
-neuroscience research -- the `Experimental Psychology Debian packaging
-project <http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-exppsy>`_ was created
-to formally join the forces of
-
-* `Michael Hanke <http://mih.voxindeserto.de>`_
-* `Yaroslav Halchenko <http://www.onerussian.com>`_
-
-A number of packages that are now available from the NeuroDebian repository
-were not packaged by our team, but similar Debian teams. Therefore we want to
-express particular gratitude to the `Debian Med`_ and `Debian Science`_ teams
-for all their work.

-
-Contacts
-========
-
-`Email us directly <team@neuro.debian.net>`_ with any "private"
-communication. Otherwise please use our public mailing lists, which
-exist not only to provide user-support but also to establish
-communication channels within the NeuroDebian community
-
-* neurodebian-users_: Discussions and support of NeuroDebian users
-
-* neurodebian-upstream_: General discussions and knowledge sharing
- among developers of the neuroscience software. We will also use it
- to update you with summaries of recent relevant developments in
- Debian project
-
