+Redict is an advanced key-value store.
+It is similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile, and values
+can be strings, exactly like in memcached, but also lists, sets, and
+ordered sets.
+These data types can be manipulated with atomic operations to push/pop
+elements, add/remove elements, perform server side union, intersection,
+difference between sets, and so forth.
+Redict supports different kinds of sorting abilities.
+
+Redict is a fork of Redis after licence went proprietary.
+
+Default port for starting the instance can be set with
+REDICT_PORT=16379
+Defaults remains the Redis port at 6379, hence making it incompatible
+out-of-the-package with a parallel Redis instance running.
+
+redict-cli is (for now) fully compatible with redis-cli, and defaults
+to redis port 6379.
+
+Default directory and files are setup with redict name:
+/var/lib/redict for data
+/var/log/redict for logs
+/etc/rc.d/rc.redict for RC script
