 ## Pre-requisites
 * A machine running Linux with GNU (e.g. Debian, Ubuntu) or musl (e.g. Alpine) libc and `x86_64`, `aarch64` or `armv7l` CPU, you have root access to. If you are not sure if it's compatible see [Detecting flavour section](#detecting-flavour) below
+* For installing OTP releases on RedHat-based distros like Fedora and Centos Stream, please follow [this guide](./otp_redhat_en.md) instead.
 * A (sub)domain pointed to the machine
 
 You will be running commands as root. If you aren't root already, please elevate your priviledges by executing `sudo su`/`su`.

 ### Detecting flavour
 
-Paste the following into the shell:
-```sh
-arch="$(uname -m)";if [ "$arch" = "x86_64" ];then arch="amd64";elif [ "$arch" = "armv7l" ];then arch="arm";elif [ "$arch" = "aarch64" ];then arch="arm64";else echo "Unsupported arch: $arch">&2;fi;if getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION>/dev/null;then libc_postfix="";elif [ "$(ldd 2>&1|head -c 9)" = "musl libc" ];then libc_postfix="-musl";elif [ "$(find /lib/libc.musl*|wc -l)" ];then libc_postfix="-musl";else echo "Unsupported libc">&2;fi;echo "$arch$libc_postfix"
-```
+This is a little more complex than it used to be (thanks ubuntu)
+
+Use the following mapping to figure out your flavour:
+
+| distribution  | flavour      |
+| ------------- | ------------ |
+| debian stable | amd64        |
+| ubuntu focal  | amd64        |
+| ubuntu jammy  | ubuntu-jammy |
+| alpine        | amd64-musl   |
 
-If your platform is supported the output will contain the flavour string, you will need it later. If not, this just means that we don't build releases for your platform, you can still try installing from source.
+Other similar distributions will _probably_ work, but if it is not listed above, there is no official
+support.
