   <title>Change who has administrative privileges</title>
 
   <p>Administrative privileges are a way of deciding who can make changes to
-  important parts of the system. You can change which users have admin
+  important parts of the system. You can change which users have administrative
   privileges and which ones don't. They are a good way of keeping your system
   secure and preventing potentially damaging unauthorized changes.</p>

   <p>As well as the files that <em>you</em> create, your computer has a number
- of files which are needed by the system for it to work properly. If these
- important <em>system files</em> are changed improperly they can cause various
- things to break, so they are protected from changes by default. Certain

+  things to break, so they are protected from changes by default. Certain
+  applications also modify important parts of the system, and so are also
+  protected.</p>
 
   <p>The way that they are protected is by only allowing users with
- <em>administrative privileges</em> to change the files or use the applications.
- In day-to-day use, you won't need to change any system files or use these
- applications, so by default you do not have admin privileges.</p>
+  <em>administrative privileges</em> to change the files or use the
+  applications. In day-to-day use, you won't need to change any system files or
+  use these applications, so by default you do not have administrative
+  privileges.</p>
 
   <p>Sometimes you need to use these applications, so you may be able to
- temporarily get admin privileges to allow you to make the changes. If an
- application needs admin privileges, it will ask for your password. For example,
- if you want to install some new software, the software installer (package
- manager) will ask for your admin password so it can add the new application to
- the system. Once it has finished, your admin privileges will be taken away
- again.</p>
-
-  <p>Admin privileges are associated with your user account. Some users are
- allowed to have admin privileges and some are not. Without admin privileges you
- will not be able to install software. Some user accounts (for example, the
- "root" account) have permanent admin privileges. You shouldn't use admin
- privileges all of the time, because you might accidentally change something
- you did not intend to (like delete a needed system file, for example).</p>
-
-  <p>In summary, admin privileges allow you to change important parts of your
- system when needed, but prevent you from doing it accidentally.</p>
-
-<note>
- <title>What does "super user" mean?</title>
-  <p>A user with admin privileges is sometimes called a <em>super user</em>.
- This is simply because that user has more privileges than normal users. You
- might see people discussing things like <cmd>su</cmd> and <cmd>sudo</cmd>;
- these are programs for temporarily giving you "super user" (admin) privileges.</p>

- <title>Why are admin privileges useful?</title>
-  <p>Requiring users to have admin privileges before important system changes
- are made is useful because it helps to prevent your system from being broken,
- intentionally or unintentionally.</p>
-  <p>If you had admin privileges all of the time, you might accidentally change
- an important file, or run an application which changes something important by
- mistake. Only getting admin privileges temporarily, when you need them, reduces
- the risk of these mistakes happening.</p>
-  <p>Only certain trusted users should be allowed to have admin privileges.
- This prevents other users from messing with the computer and doing things like
- uninstalling applications that you need, installing applications that you don't
- want, or changing important files. This is useful from a security standpoint.</p>
