+## Recipes
 
-## Installation
+We collect user submitted installation scripts and config file templates for platforms we don't support officially.
+We believe there is merit in allowing a certain amount of diversity.
+You can get and submit your solution to running/configuring GitLab with your favorite OS/distro, database, web server, cloud hoster, configuration management tool, etc.
 
-Install the Gitlab development in a virtual machine with the [Gitlab Vagrant virtual machine](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-vagrant-vm). Installing it in a virtual machine makes it much easier to set up all the dependencies for integration testing.
