+Some Operating Systems provide a specific ejabberd package adapted to
+your system architecture and libraries, which also checks dependencies
+and performs basic configuration tasks like creating the initial
+administrator account. Some examples are Debian and Gentoo. Consult the
+resources provided by your Operating System for more information.
