in this style. In the following example,

version-number is displayed in this style:

The directory for the kernel source is /usr/src/ version-number /, where version-

number

is the version of the kernel installed on this system.

Additionally, we use several different strategies to draw your attention to certain pieces of informa-

tion. In order of how critical the information is to your system, these items are marked as note, tip,

important, caution, or a warning. For example:

Note

Remember that Linux is case sensitive. In other words, a rose is not a ROSE is not a rOsE.

Tip

The directory /usr/share/doc/ contains additional documentation for packages installed on your

system.

Important

If you modify the DHCP conﬁguration ﬁle, the changes will not take effect until you restart the DHCP

daemon.

Caution

Do not perform routine tasks as root — use a regular user account unless you need to use the root

account for system administration tasks.
