+Release Notes for OpenMC 0.6.2
+==============================
+
+-------------------
+System Requirements
+-------------------
+
+There are no special requirements for running the OpenMC code. As of this
+release, OpenMC has been tested on a variety of Linux distributions, Mac OS X,
+and Microsoft Windows 7. Memory requirements will vary depending on the size of
+the problem at hand (mostly on the number of nuclides in the problem).
+
