Beginning with Evergreen 2.1.0, the HTML version of the instructions is 
generated from the README file in the source tarball using a program called 
ASCIIDOC, so the text should be the same.  For previous releases, the README 
and wiki page versions differed considerably from each other.  The webpage 
version has been oriented to new users of Evergreen (and Linux), and the README 
has tended to make more assumptions about the knowledge of the user.  Now that 
they are the same, I'm sure there are some things that should be added to the 
README, and I know your suggestions or contributions would be welcome.

Hope that helps,

Chris
