+Getting started
+===============
+
+[Preparing the build](getting_started/preparing_the_build.html) has information about setting up your system to compile Redox, which is necessary if you want to contribute to Redox development.
+
+If you aren't (currently) interesting in going through the trouble of building Redox, you can download the latest release. See the instructions for [running in a virtual machine](getting_started/try_vm.html) or [running on real hardware](getting_started/real_hardware.html).

+Trying Redox in a virtual machine
+=================================
+
+The ISO image is *not* the prefered way to run Redox in a virtual machine. Currently the ISO image loads the entire hard disk image (including unused space) into memory. In the future, the live disk should be improved so that doesn't happen.
+
+Instead, you want to use the hard disk image, which you can find on the [release pages](https://github.com/redox-os/redox/releases) as a `.bin.gz` file. Download and extract that file.
+
+You can then run it in your prefered emulator; this command will run qemu with various features Redox can use enables:
+
+```
+qemu-system-x86_64 -serial mon:stdio -d cpu_reset -d guest_errors -smp 4 -m 1024 -s -machine q35 -device ich9-intel-hda -device hda-duplex -net nic,model=e1000 -net user -device nec-usb-xhci,id=xhci -device usb-tablet,bus=xhci.0 -enable-kvm -cpu host -drive file=redox_VERSION.bin,format=raw
+```
+
+Change `redox_VERSION.bin` to the `.bin` file you just downloaded.
