Message:

Patched clumsy verbiage. Added two items (hardlink, lsfd) to the list
of installed programs. Added (link to setarch) to the five items that
link to setarch. Corrected erroneous description of swapoff. Clarified
some of the "short descriptions". Changed the imperative mood to the
indicative mood, and added an "s" to a couple of possessive nouns.
