Personally, I'd change the "read-only" directory example used
as in real-life you are extremely unlike to ever see 444 modes
on a directory as "execute" is also used as "search" for
directories; 555 would be more accurate.
And a little further down:

Might want to include "/sys" here, also. I've gotten quite a
few queries about "/sys" in the past couple of years.

This is standard across all *nixes I'm familiar with.
Other than these extremely trivial issues this is *very* well put
together.
