Maybe mention here that it is not necessary to install it to test it (see "Running the server"-instructions). Many contributors/testers/users will probably like to first run it in a 'throw away' fashion.

Maybe mention the other OS-level services of Windows, Mac and Android for comparison here, for people familiar with these services?
