Dear Miriam,

I think I found some typos in your nice article.

I'd suggest you to use "they" instead of "she/he"
see e.g.:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2004/08/msg00075.html

and... I'd rather prefer you use the present perfect
instead of past simple

if she/he already did --> if they have already done

I do not understand when the *directory* roaddemo_1.0.1 (underscore)
was created.


It was created by extracting roaddemo-1.0.1.tar.gz, which happened in the line 'tar xvfz roaddemo-1.0.1.tar.gz'
