Nice, very...

- Far to many steps
- selection/next button not intuitive

My suggestions

- In order to make the headers a clear choice of selection, add a 
checkbox to each header. if the user selects it, it also opens the 
selected explanation.
As to clicking the header elsewhere:
   - could select the checkbox
   - could allow peak preview, not moving the selection
   - could select the checkbox, if none yet set, otherwhise peak preview

- for the button
   have a button in each explanation.
   Then you do not need checkboxes..., but something like a more/select 
button on each header, to open the explanation.

- for the pages.
   nested headers? if you select linux, then there could be several 
headers inside.

The ideas are just what came to mind, not sure which one will work best 
or at all, or not at all...
