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.
