Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Documentation: admin-guide: remove redundant first paragraph of README.rst
Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 10:07:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170712080745.26338-2-martink@posteo.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170712080745.26338-1-martink@posteo.de>
"These are the release notes for Linux version 4." is what the header above
says. There's no real need to say that again.
"Read them carefully," Why would we advise people to read one file carefully
but other file not?
"they tell you what this is all about, explain how to install the kernel, and
what to do if something goes wrong." That's just the chapters below. With
rendered docs, the reader doesn't even have to scroll down to have this
sentense's information :)
Therefore let's remove the first paragraph, including the "What is Linux?"
subheader, and start with telling what Linux is. This won't come as a surprise
to the reader.

Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across
the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.
