+    <para>The golden rule of Unix System Administration is to use your
+        superpowers only when neccessary. Hence, BLFS recommends that you
+        build the package as an unprivileged user and only "become root"
+        when installing the package. This philosophy is followed in all the
+        packages in this book. Unless otherwise specified, all instructions
+        should be executed as an unprivileged user. The book will advise you
+        on instructions that need root privileges.</para>
