## Get Started
The [the README file](http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/browser/README) tells how to acquire and install the code, how to run a node than can upload and download files, how to connect to the public test grid operated by [Allmydata, Inc.](http://allmydata.com), and how to set up your own private grid.
## Documentation
Please see the following files for more information:

## Debian packages
* to install debian packages for etch, dapper, edgy, or feisty, add the following lines to
your `/etc/apt/sources.list`, replacing the word `DIST` with `etch`, `dapper`, `edgy`, or `feisty`
as appropriate:
```
deb http://allmydata.org/debian/ DIST main tahoe
deb-src http://allmydata.org/debian/ DIST main tahoe
```
Then update and install the **allmydata-tahoe** package.
These packages are generated each time the code is changed, and represent the most up-to-date
(read "unstable") version available. The usual warnings about no guarantees apply: it might cause
your computer to catch fire, might steal your dog, etc.
