-==== STEP 2 Install Java ====
+===== STEP 2: Install Java =====
 Install Java using your distribution's package manager. This step will vary across distros, so in case it is not listed here, please refer to your distro's documentation.
-==== Arch Linux ====
+Convention: commands starting with a ''#'' must be run with privilges like so ''sudo [command] [options]''.
+===== Arch Linux =====
 Install the latest JRE with this command:
 <code>
-pacman -S jre-openjdk
+# pacman -S jre-openjdk
+</code>
+If you're only running a server without the need for a graphical environment, the headless JRE is enough:
+<code>
+# pacman -S jre-openjdk-headless
 </code>
 If you want to also develop mods, you need to install the JDK instead.
 <code>
-pacman -S jdk-openjdk
+# pacman -S jdk-openjdk
 </code>

+===== Fedora =====
 Install the JRE for Java 8 with this command:
 <code>
-sudo dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
+# dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk
+</code>
+If you're only running a server without the need for a graphical environment, the headless JRE is enough:

-==== Gentoo ====
+===== Gentoo =====
 Install the latest JRE with this command:
 <code>
-emerge jre
+# emerge -a jre
+</code>
+If you're only running a server without the need for a graphical environment, the headless JRE is enough, for that you can enable //USE=headless-awt// and then emerge a JRE that supports it, such as //dev-java/openjdk// or //dev-java/openjdk-jre-bin// for the precompiled version:
+<code>
+# euse -E headless-awt # or manually change make.conf/package.use
+# emerge -a dev-java/openjdk
 </code>
 If you want to also develop mods, you need to install the JDK instead.
 <code>
-emerge jdk
+# emerge -a jdk
 </code>
