* Add Rich Murphey's name back into the attributions for this chapter.
His name was apparently accidently removed when we moved to the <chapterinfo> scheme. * Add a standard synopsis to this chapter. * Remove gratuitous "For information about <title of next section>, see <number of next section>". * Use <xref> instead of a <link> to Ports chapter. * Clean up the section about KLDs and enabling Linux compatibility.
