+=head1 QUICK START
+
+For those who want to get going quickly, here is a short "cookbook-style 
+recipe" to quickly get you up and running. Although there are many 
+different ways to get a Catalyst environment going, this tutorial has 
+been written with and tested against Debian 5 Live CD, using the steps 
+in this Quick Start. 
+
+If you want, you can follow the directions in this section and then jump 
+right to L<Chapter 2|Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::02_CatalystBasics> of 
+the tutorial. However, it would be a good idea to come back and read the 
+sections below the Quick Start when you have time. Or, continue reading 
+those other sections for suggestions if you do not wish to use the 
+Debian 5 Live CD.
