 ### Running Natively
+Pre-built binaries are provided in the release section of this project. Note however that currently, only the `linux_amd64` flavor is tested upon release. All other binaries are untested. Feedback is welcome!
+
 If you run *dregsy* natively on your system, with relay type `docker`, the *Docker* daemon of your system will be used as the relay for all sync tasks, so all synced images will wind up in the *Docker* storage of that daemon.
