 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .BR ngIRCd
-is a free open source daemon for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC),

+is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for small
+or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
+It is easy to configure, can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports
+IPv6, SSL-protected connections as well as PAM for authentication.
+It is written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.
 .PP
-It's written from scratch and is not based upon the original IRCd like
-many others. It is easy to configure, supports server links (even with
-original ircd's) and runs on hosts with changing IP addresses (such as
-dial-in networks).
-.PP
-Currently supported platforms include AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX,
-Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.
+The name ngIRCd means
+.IR "next generation IRC daemon",
+which is a little bit exaggerated:
+.IR "lightweight Internet Relay Chat server"
+most probably would have been a better name :-)

 As ngIRCd relies on UNIX standards and uses GNU automake and GNU autoconf
 there are good chances that it also supports other UNIX-based operating
-systems as well. By default, ngIRCd writes diagnostic and informational messages using
-the syslog mechanism.
