<i>OK Space Cadets, prepare to hurtle through the Cosmos!</i>

So, you have decided to leave your old life behind and explore the universe
of Project::OSiRiON. This guide will show you how to take your first steps
and teach you the basic skills you need to survive these new surroundings.

<p>
Before you can be allowed to pilot a space ship, make sure you have reviewed
the <a href="installation.html">installation instructions</a> to ensure
optimal performance of the onboard computer systems. Advanced topics
and server operations are covered by the <a href="manual.html">user manual</a>.
