+## Distribution Specific Information
+
+#### Debian/Ubuntu
+
+Debian and Ubuntu provide the nyancat binary through the `nyancat` package. A
+`nyancat-server` package is provided to automatically setup and enable a nyancat
+telnet server upon installation. I am not the maintainer of these packages;
+please direct any questions or bugs to the relevant distribution's bug tracking
+system.
