[PATCH] linux: README: reduced README size by 1 byte by removing unnecessary space character

[Alex]

From: Aaron A Montoya <aaron.a.montoya@gmail.com>

On line 9 of the README there is an unnecessary extra space character, 
after the period, that adds 1 byte of size to the file. By removing the 
unnecessary space, Linux downloads will be 1 byte smaller and therefor be 
faster to download and take up less space on a user's system, all while 
correcting a sentence structure issue. This change is one of the few 
optimizations with practically no downsides, besides taking time out 
of the hardworking Linux maintainers day to implement the change.
Remove extra space after the period on line 9 of the README.

best joke today but wrong in two ways ;)

1. size matter? The commit (-message) adds to more bytes to the repo ;)
2. Be correct formated?  The extra Space is for 'sentence spacing' [1]
    e.g. emacs text modes are formating such spacing.
