156  <para os="e">The created groups are not part of any standard&mdash;they are
157  groups decided on in part by the requirements of the Systemd configuration
158  in the final system, and in part by common convention employed by a
159  number of existing Linux distributions. The Linux Standard Base (LSB,
160  available at
161  <ulink url="http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/lsb"/>)
162  recommends only that, besides the group <quote>root</quote> with a Group ID
163  (GID) of 0, a group <quote>bin</quote> with a GID of 1 be present. All other
164  group names and GIDs can be chosen freely by the system administrator since
165  well-written programs do not depend on GID numbers, but rather use the
166  group's name.</para>
