A big advantage of using the AppImage format is that it is only 1/3 the size of the normal install,
and since each release is named differently, you can keep a number of versions in a directory,
and when testing from a terminal you just have to type CinGG, then hit tab, and complete it to
-the desired date release.
-For 64-bit systems you can choose between an image with up-to-date libraries or one that supports older libraries, which you should use only if the first image gives you problems with unsupported libs. There is also a 32-bit older distro available that has \textit{i686} as part of the filename that currently works on older distros but may not work on the newest distros

(most of the popular Linux distributions such as Arch, Ubuntu, and Fedora have dropped support for this older architecture). In any case, if you are using a 32-bit Linux distro, you should compile your sources from git or use a precompiled binary\protect\footnote{Remember that a 32-bit distro does not address more than 4GB of memory, so you may have stability and performance problems with large, high-resolution mediafiles.}. And there is a 8/10/12 bit newer distro that handles 8 or 10 or 12 bits that has \textit{multibit} as part of the filename. Installing the appimage is simple:

+\label{sec:packages}
+Especially advantageous to the way some users prefer to keep CinelerraGG updated
+is the build farm for \CGG{} deb and rpm packages that is maintained regularly
+at this location \url{https://github.com/einhander/cin-gg-packages/releases}.
+It will build packages on every git change in the main repo with
+releases corresponding to a build date, not a git commit date.
+Current build hosts are \textbf{Debian 12}, \textbf{Debian 11},
+\textbf{Suse Leap 15.5}, \textbf{Fedora 38}, and \textbf{Ubuntu 22.04}.
+This build farm creates packages for the latest current versions of these
+distros with the potential for additional distros to be added in the future.
+In addition, packages for some previously built dates will still be available
+in case you want to revert to a specific package date.
