+==== Chipset Support ====
+FreshTomato supports systems based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcom_Corporation|Broadcom]] chipsets, including ARM- and MIPS-based models.
+Recently, an x86_64 variant went into development, and is running. However, not all functions are as polished/functional as their ARM or MIPS equivalents.
+The x86_64 version can run on bare-metal (for example, an n100/n305 based mini PC) or within virtualized environments. These include Proxmox, KVM, VirtualBox, VMWare, and more. The X64 variant includes some features not in the ARM and MIPS versions, such as Deep Packet Inspection.
+For more information, please visit the x86_64 version website: \\ [[https://tomato64.org/wiki/Main_Page|https://tomato64.org/wiki/Main_Page]]
+To see if FreshTomato runs on your ARM- or MIPS-based hardware, please refer to the wiki's [[Hardware compatibility|Hardware compatibility]] page.
+==== FreshTomato features ====
+FreshTomato includes a friendly interface, which is considered easy to use even by inexperienced users. It also offers many features, and security and bug fixes that are not available on stock vendor firmware.
+==== History ====
 Tomato was originally written by Jonathan Zarate, and has been developed over time by the open source community. FreshTomato is currently the most up-to-date fork of Tomato and has about 4 to 5 releases a year.
