+The main advantages of using JuNest include:
 
 - Install packages without root privileges.
-- Partial isolated environment in which you can install packages without affecting a production system.
-- Access to a wide range of packages, in particular on GNU/Linux distros that may contain limited repositories (such as CentOS and RedHat).
+- Create partially isolated environments in which you can install packages without risking mishaps on production systems.
+- Access a wider range of packages, particularly on GNU/Linux distros with comparatively limited repositories (such as CentOS and Red Hat).
+- Run on a different architecture from the host OS via QEMU.
 - Available for `x86_64` and `arm` architectures but you can build your own image from scratch too!

 JuNest follows the [Arch Linux philosophy](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way).
 
 How different is JuNest from Docker and Vagrant?

+Although JuNest sounds similar to a virtualisation/Linux container-like system,
 JuNest is quite different from solutions like Docker or Vagrant.
 In fact, the purpose of JuNest is **not** to
-build a complete isolated environment but, conversely, is the ability to run
-programs as they were running natively from the host OS. Almost everything is shared
-between host OS and the JuNest sandbox (kernel, process subtree, network, mounting, etc)

+between the host OS and the JuNest sandbox (kernel, process subtree, network, mounting, etc)
 and only the root filesystem gets isolated
 (since the programs installed in JuNest need to reside elsewhere).
 
 This allows interaction between processes belonging to both host OS and JuNest.
-For instance, you can install `top` command in JuNest in order to monitor
-any processes belonging to the host OS.
