tl;dr- If people know the high-level prereqs they can quickly understand the scope and context of the project. Also, offering a clear starting point tends to help people get started.

For example, in the Prerequisites section: "Recommended use is a, b, c. Popular use is d, c, or e. We don't recommend x, y, or z."

I also ran into some packages that didn't play nicely with Ruby 1.9, so I immediately began to question whether or not I had the right distro as a starting point. Fast-forward an hour and I've hit 2 different issues on 2 different distros, so I'm thinking "I dunno? Seemed cool but I couldn't get it working, or even identify my hurdles, in 1 hour so I'll go find another thing to check out".

Thanks! Love this idea and think you guys have done an awesome job on this project.

Hi @fordprior. Sorry for the delayed response.

This is a great idea! I've added a story to our backlog.
