Building Redis
--------------
+Redis can be compiled and used on Linux, OSX, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD.
+We support big endian and little endian architectures.
+
+It may compile on Solaris derived systems (for instance SmartOS) but our
+support for this platform is "best effort" and Redis is not guaranteed to
+work as well as in Linux, OSX, and *BSD there.
+
It is as simple as:
% make
You'll be able to stop and start Redis using the script named
/etc/init.d/redis_<portnumber>, for instance /etc/init.d/redis_6379.
