   We strongly recommend that you download a prebuilt bjam
   executable for your platform.  If your platform isn't in the
   following list, or if you downloaded the latest Boost sources
   from CVS instead of getting an official release,
   <a>installation guide</a> describes how to build bjam for
   yourself.

      - <a>Windows</a>
      - <a>Linux</a>
      - <a>FreeBSD</a>
      - <a>Solaris</a>
      - <a>Mac OS</a>

(I'd leave the rest of the details to <a>installation guide</a>.)
