-=for TODO Someone needs to invent this package and then we can document it here...
+As of writing this, several prebuilt packages (or pre-configured ones, depending on the platforms) are known to be available, including Debian/Ubuntu, BSD ports, RPM, and Windows (ActivePerl PPM). Consult your package manager if there is one for your platform.
+
+Debian package is directly maintained by the Jifty team and available from Jifty's official server.
