h2. Using Apache Karaf binary distributions
+Apache Karaf is available in two distributions, both as a tar.gz and zip archives.
+
+
+The "default" distribution is a "ready to use" distribution.
+The "default" distribution provides the following features enabled.
+
+The "minimal" distribution is like the minimal distributions that you can find for most of Unix distributions.
+Only the core layer is packaged, most of the features and bundles are downloaded from Internet at bootstrap.
+It means that Apache Karaf minimal distribution requires an Internet connection to start correctly.
+The features provided by the "minimal" distribution are exactly the same as in the "default" distribution, the difference
+is that the minimal distribution will download the features from Internet.

h3. Installation on Windows platform
NB: the JAVA_HOME environment variable has to be correctly defined. To accomplish that, press Windows key and Break key together, switch to "Advanced" tab and click on "Environment Variables".
