 GEMINI is an instrumentation and measurement framework for the GENI network, and can be used by GENI users 
 to monitor and record information about their (running) experiment.
 
-The purpose of this page is to introduce the reader to the tools and resources available in GEMINI,
-by giving an example experiment and showing how one would go about instrumenting the experiment
-and then viewing the information gathered by the GEMINI system.  
+The purpose of this page is to point users to the most recent version of the GEMINI tutorial, as well as to serve
+as a pointer to past versions of the tutorial.  Because GEMINI is still under development, the features it 
+offers is rapidly changing and advancing.  Consequently, please be aware that instructions from past tutorials may no
+longer work with the current version of GEMINI.
 
-Although this tutorial presents 
-the topology used in the example experiment, the goal of this tutorial is '''not''' to show how to create 
-a slice/experiment.  Users unfamiliar with creating and setting up a slice are encouraged to 
-explore any of the control framework tutorials to learn more about creating slices.
+Just a quick note about the GENI Desktop.  GEMINI is fully integrated with the GENI Desktop. As a result, the distinction between
+the GENI Desktop and GEMINI can sometimes be confusing.  Basically, the GENI Desktop provides a graphical user interface
+to view the measurement data collected by the GEMINI measurement system.  However, over time the GENI Desktop has 
+been enhanced to provide a long list of GUI features that go beyond providing access to GEMINI measurement data.  For example, the GENI Desktop
+can be used to access FLACK, the portal, the iRods services, create slices, delete slices, ssh into nodes, etc.   
+In that sense, the GENI Desktop is much more than just the GEMINI GUI.
