+
+You've decided to see what is involved in this 🌩️ "Wild Cloud" thing. Welcome!
+
+What follows is a step-by-step setup guide for early adopters. We'll do our best to keep these instructions in sync with the latest Wild Cloud software.
+
+## 🚧 Under Construction 🚧 
+
+First of all, <span style="background-color: yellow">Wild Cloud is in active development</span> as are these pages. We prefer to develop things "in the open" since this is a community project. <u>Feel free to try things out now</u> (we have two pilot clouds running), but <span style="background-color: yellow">expect some bumps**</span> until we get everything sorted and remove this notice.
+
+## Take your time!
+
+One of our big objective with Wild Cloud is to make Internet technology more accessible to everyone. We want setting up and maintaining your wild cloud to be a fun learning experience, so you'll find that we interject {{< icon "circle-info" "#05df72" >}} definitions, and let you {{< icon "graduation-cap" "#5d0ec0" >}} go deeper with tips or entire articles, but we always bring things {{< icon "sun" "#fff085" >}} back around to your own wild cloud where you can try things out first-hand. 
+
+
+All of the technology we use in Wild Cloud is open source and widely used, so investing time to really learn the concepts in this setup guide will be well spent.
+
+## The path ahead
+
+The following pages will guide you through buying your wild cloud hardware, setting up each of the various components, and, in the end, deploying applications and managing your wild cloud.

 Six of the computers run Talos Linux and are your "cluster nodes". One computer will run your local network's name server so you can access internal cloud applications. The last computer is just used to manage your cluster. Most of these computers can be small or old machines, and they are all managed by Wild Cloud, so don't think it's too expensive or complicated to get started. A really useful wild cloud can be built for less than the price of a new smart phone.

 In computing, the word "machine" goes back to Alan Turing’s 1936 concept of the ‘Turing machine,’ and to early electromechanical computers like ENIAC that were literally giant calculating machines. Today, in Kubernetes and cloud systems, like your wild cloud, we still use the word "machine" to mean any physical or virtual computer that runs workloads.

-The Wild Cloud software is Open Source and free. All you need to do is download it onto your operator machine, install some other programs we require, and then run the setup script. The setup script walks you through the process of installing your DNS machine, your control nodes, your worker nodes, and then any software you want to run on your cloud.

+Your operator machine is your main workspace (I think of it more as play, actually) for managing your wild cloud. You will install the Wild Cloud software on your operator machine and use it to setup and manage everything related to your wild cloud.
