-For Ubuntu, we provide packages for Wily Werewolf (15.10) and Vivid Vervet (15.04). This is the recommended method of installing Bitmask. If installed as a package, Bitmask will run faster, be better integrated in the system, and will be kept up to date.
+There are two ways to install bitmask on Ubuntu, via packages and via bundles. If you are comfortable with the command line, we recommend using packages when available, otherwise use the bundle.

- Stand-alone bundles are useful if want to run Bitmask from a thumb drive. Or from a distribution which we don't support with packages.

- * The Bitmask app will be less well integrated with the desktop environment.
- * Running from the bundle is slower to start than via packages.
