-<b>Run Physics Codes:</b> download the <a href="documentation/">Einstein Toolkit</a> which includes complete codes for modeling vacuum spacetimes such 
-  as the coalescence of black holes, or  relativistic hydrodynamics. Use example parameter files and Cactus configuration files to run quickly on known machines or use our test accounts on Queen Bee.
+  <b>Get Started:</b> follow
+  our <a href="http://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Tutorial_for_New_Users">Tutorial
+  for New Users</a> where you download the toolkit and run a simple
+  physics example on Queen Bee, one of "our" machines where we worked
+  hard to make sure that everything works just fine out of the box.
+  (Please tell us if this is not so!)  Within a short time, you should
+  be looking at the fundamental mode oscillation of a TOV star.

-<b>Put Together Your Own Code:</b> look through the different thorns making up the <a href="/toolkit">Einstein Toolkit</a>, use what you want and develop or add in your own additional thorns to research new evolution algorithms, new modes of analysis or to evolve new initial data sets. Since the Einstein Toolkit contains examples of initial data, evolution, and analysis thorns, you can see prototypes of how new thorns should be structured.
