Linux How does the system startup look like? This question usually does not come into mind of a normal computer user. Oh, he presses the power button, goes to the kitchen to make a coffee and when he comes back, the password can be entered on the screen in the prepared field. Sometimes however, in the minds of a bit more keen computer enthusiasts, the question is born "how does it actually work?" It's no black magic. Editor's Note: An in depth three part series about the computer boot up process was covered earlier in OSNews.

Two questions:

1. Even if we manage to find all the grammatical errors in an article, how do you suggest we fix it on articles that are out of our control (articles from other website)?

2. Would you rather be reading an OS-related article written by an English teacher? Honestly, I don't mind jumping over a couple of grammatical errors if the article is interesting enough.
