+About
+#####
+
+VyOS is an open source network operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux.
+
+VyOS provides a free routing platform that competes directly with other
+commercially available solutions from well known network providers. Because
+VyOS is run on standard amd64, i586 and ARM systems, it is able to be used
+as a router and firewall platform for cloud deployments.
+
+We use multiple live versions of our manual hosted thankfully by
+https://readthedocs.org. We will provide one version of the manual for every
+VyOS major version starting with VyOS 1.2 which will receive Long-term support
+(LTS).
+
+The manual version is selected/specified by it's Git branch name. You can
+switch between versions of the documentation by selecting the appropriate
+branch on the bottom left corner.
+
+VyOS CLI syntax may change between major (and sometimes minor) versions. Please
+always refer to the documentation matching your current, running installation.
+If a change in the CLI is required, VyOS will ship a so called migration script
+which will take care of adjusting the syntax. No action needs to be taken by
+you.
