+Two Types of Modules
+====================
+
+Native Client comes in two flavors.
+
+* **Portable Native Client (PNaCl)**: Pronounced 'pinnacle', PNaCl runs single, portable (**pexe**) executables and is available
+ in most implementations of Chrome. A translator built into Chrome
+ translates the pexe into native code for the client hardware. The entire
+ module is translated before any code is executed rather than as the code is
+ executed. PNaCl modules can be hosted from any web server.
+* **Native Client (NaCl)**: Also called traditional or non-portable Native
+ Client, NaCl runs
+ architecture-dependent (**nexe**) modules, which are packaged into an
+ application. At runtime, the browser decides which nexe to load based on the
+ architecture of the client machine. NaCl modules must be run from the `Chrome
+ Web Store (CWS) <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/apps>`_.
+ Fortunately, work from PNaCl modules can be used to create NaCl modules.
+
+These flavors are described in more depth in `PNaCl and NaCl <nacl-and-pnacl>`_
