It is very terse (nothing wrong with that) and appears to presume a 
certian level of sys-admin knowledge (also nothing wrong with that).

A typical windows user would be unable to follow it (for a typical 
windows user, if there is no GUI to hand hold them, they are lost).

A typical ubuntu linux user will also be unable to follow (as a typical 
ubuntu user has essentially a windows user knowledge level of sys-admin 
details - and without a GUI they are also lost).

A good linux sys-admin user [1] can follow it.

[1] i.e., someone who can configure a Linux system using only a text 
mode terminal and a text editor.
