+ <p>Explain, in simple terms, what a process is, how they relate to
+ applications, how some are 'system processes', and what you can do with a
+ process.</p>
+ </comment>
+
+ <p>A <gui>process</gui> is a program or application being executed by the
+ system. When an application is launched, the system assigns a unique process ID
+ (PID), and its instructions and data are loaded into memory.</p>
+
+ <p>The <gui>Processes</gui> tab displays information on processes, and allows
+ you to <gui>Stop</gui>, <gui>Continue</gui>, <gui>End</gui>, <gui>Kill</gui>,
+ or change the priority of a process. If you choose to display
+ <gui>All Processes</gui>, the process list will include
+ <em>system processes</em>, which run in the background providing various
+ services that keep a computer running.</p>
