+=head2 Enabling FUSE
+
+On some distros, you may need to add yourself to a special group
+(eg. C<fuse>) before you can use any FUSE filesystem. This is
+necessary on Debian and derivatives.
+
+On other distros, no special group is required. It is not necessary
+on Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
