+In many operating systems tcpdump is available as a native package or port,
+which simplifies installation of updates and long-term maintenance. However,
+the native packages are sometimes a few versions behind and to try a more
+recent snapshot it will take to compile tcpdump from the source code.
 
+tcpdump compiles and works on at least the following platforms:
 
+* AIX
+* DragonFly BSD
+* FreeBSD
+* HP-UX 11i
+* GNU/Linux
+* {Mac} OS X / macOS
+* NetBSD
+* OpenBSD
+* OpenWrt
+* Solaris
+* Windows (requires WinPcap or Npcap, and Visual Studio with CMake)
