-Net::SSH is a pure-Ruby implementation of the SSH2 client protocol. It
-supports the following features:
+Net::SSH is a pure-Ruby implementation of the SSH2 client protocol. It allows
+you to write programs that invoke and interact with processes on remote servers,
+via SSH2.
 
- - User authentication via explicit username/password, or using a
-   public-key/private-key pair.
- - Port forwarding, both from the local host to a remote computer via
-   the remote host, and from the remote host to the local host.
- - Execute processes on the remote machine, both interactively and
-   non-interactively ("batch").
+Features:
+- Execute processes on remote servers and capture their output
+- Run multiple processes in parallel over a single SSH connection
+- Support for SSH subsystems
+- Forward local and remote ports via an SSH connection
