<heading>Scope</heading>
<p>
The main goal of this handbook is to serve as a single access
point to all kernel-related documentation. It contains the
information about the Debian packaging of Linux kernel for
Debian 7.0 (wheezy). The latest released
version is always available from <url
id="http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org"
name="http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org">. Note that this
is a work in progress, and some information is inaccurate.
</p>
<p>
Some of the commands mentioned in the text must be executed with
superuser priviliges, either by becoming the <tt>root</tt> user
or by using <tt>sudo</tt>. To distinguish between commands which
may be executed by an unprivileged user and those requiring
superuser privileges, commands are prepended by <tt>$</tt> or
<tt>#</tt> respectively. This symbol is not a part of the
command.
