+<h2>Installing gLabels from source</h2>
+<p>
+The easiest way to install glabels is to use you distribution's package repository. However, if the version
+offered by your distribution is not the latest stable version, you may wish to install it manually from
+source.

<h2>Customizing</h2>
<p>
gLabels knows about a small universe of label/card stationery. You may create new templates by using the <i>Template Designer</i> under the <i>File</i> menu.
for possible inclusion in future releases of gLabels.

+<p>
+The following outlines how to install glabels from source on various GNU/Linux distributions.
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
+
+<p>
+Dependencies will need to be installed as root.
+Although dependecies can be installed using your distribution's graphical package manager, the directions below use command line tools because it is easier to convey.
+</p>
+
+<h4>Fedora and similar distributions</h4>
+<div class="codebox">$ su
+Password:
+# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
+# yum groupinstall "GNOME Software Development"
+</div>
+
+<h4>Ubuntu and similar distributions</h4>
+<div class="codebox">$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libgnomeui-dev libxml2-dev libglade2-dev
+$ sudo apt-get install libebook1.2-dev <i>(optional)</i>
+</div>
+
+<p>
+The exact dependencies and their names may vary with different distributions and versions. There may also be additional dependencies depending on the baseline configuation of your distribution. If <tt>./configure</tt> in the following step complains, you may need to return to this step and install additional dependencies.
+</p>
+
+
+<h2>Unpack and Build</h2>
+
+<p>This step should not vary with distribution.</p>
+
+<div class="codebox">$ tar xvfz glabels-2.2.x.tar.gz
+$ cd glabels-2.2.x
+$ ./configure
+$ make
+</div>
+
+
+<h2>Install</h2>
+
+<p>
+Installation will need to be done as root.
+</p>
+
+<h4>Fedora and similar distributions</h4>
+<div class="codebox">$ su
+Password:
+# make install
+</div>
+
+<h4>Ubuntu and similar distributions</h4>
+<div class="codebox">$ sudo make install
