-Linux is a flavor of UNIX, and as a first approximation -all user commands under UNIX work precisely the same under -Linux (and FreeBSD and lots of other UNIX-like systems). +Linux is a flavor of UNIX, and user commands under UNIX +work similarly under Linux (and lots of other UNIX-like systems too, +like FreeBSD).I like the changes in this paragraph, except for the removal of "as a first approximation". Not a big deal, though.
I don't hear "as a first approximation" spoken often and it just brings more cognitive overhead to the content in my opinion.

-It is not built-in, but is just a program -and you can change your shell. -Everybody has their own favorite one. +It is not built-in, +but is just another program.I would maybe use a ';'? It is not built-in; it is just another program.
That's better, I'll use that in v2.
I think I'll apply this patch. Let me meditate it to-night. I CCed Doug, in case he has any comments (it would be great to hear his feedback). Have a lovely night! Alex
Sweet, thanks for the review.
