 Building MultiChain
 =====================
 
-Linux Build Notes
-=====================
-
 System requirements
 --------------------
 
-C++ compilers are memory-hungry. It is recommended to have at least 1 GB of
-memory available when compiling MultiChain. With 512MB of memory or less
-compilation will take much longer due to swap thrashing.
+These instructions have been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 only.

-This will build multichaind, multichain-cli and multitchain-util in ./src 
+This will build `multichaind`, `multichain-cli` and `multitchain-util` in the `src` directory.
 
-The release is built with GCC and then "strip multichaind" to strip the debug
-symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.
