 Building cryptography on Linux
 ------------------------------
 
-``cryptography`` should build very easily on Linux provided you have a C
-compiler, headers for Python (if you're not using ``pypy``), and headers for
-the OpenSSL and ``libffi`` libraries available on your system.
-
-For Debian and Ubuntu, the following command will ensure that the required
-dependencies are installed (replace ``python-dev`` with ``python3-dev`` if
-you're using Python 3):
+``cryptography`` ships a ``manylinux1`` wheel (as of 2.0) so all dependencies
+are included. For users on pip 8.1 or above running on a ``manylinux1``
+compatible distribution (almost everything except Alpine) all you should
+need to do is:
 
 .. code-block:: console
 
-    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
+    $ pip install cryptography
 
-For Fedora and RHEL-derivatives, the following command will ensure that the
-required dependencies are installed (replace ``python-devel`` with
-``python3-devel`` if you're using Python 3):
+If you are on Alpine or just want to compile it yourself then
+``cryptography`` requires a compiler, headers for Python (if you're not
+using ``pypy``), and headers for the OpenSSL and ``libffi`` libraries
