1.1 Where to Get

A link to the current gnut pages is kept at http://www.mrob.com/gnut. This currently points to www.gnutelliums.com which has graciously offered to host the gnut pages and download files. All versions of the source back to version 0.4.1, as well as the newest version of this document can be found there. You can also check other Gnutella-related sites, such as gnutella.wego.com and gnutella.co.uk.

1.2 Requirements

Gnut will run under most unices which support POSIX threads. Under linux this requires that you have glibc-2.0 or greater. Win32 is supported through some simple wrappers. Readline, regular expression searching, and other niceties are supported if the compiling platform has them.

1.3 Most Recent Version

As of this writing the most recent version of `gnut` is 0.4.27. This changes on a regular basis, so it's always best to look at one of the web pages (in section 1.1) for the newest version. A ChangeLog, as well as a README, are available on the web pages as well.

1.4 Developer Mailing List

Since `gnut` is open-source, it is of much interest to programmers. Therefore, there is a mailing list for programmers interested in improving and customizing ('hacking') `gnut`, which you can read (and if interested, join) by going to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gnut_dev
