 ## First steps - verify the Jetson is booting off NVMe and has at least 2TB of storage
 
-### Verify that JetPack 5.1.x is present
+### Verify that JetPack 6.2.x (or higher) is present
+
 If you think your Jetson Developer Kit has already been configured, double
 check to make sure the system has the desired JetPack version and there is
 adequate storage.
 
-Make sure that you installed the right version of the OS - because JetPack 6.x is
-still in beta, we currently prefer Ubuntu 20.04 with JetPack 5.1.x.
+Make sure that you installed the right version of the OS - currently we prefer 
+Ubuntu 22.04 with JetPack 6.2 (or higher). Earlier versions of JetPack 6.x had issues
+with kvm virtual machine network performance, so we don't use these earlier
