 particular, crashpad is newer and will likely eventually replace breakpad on
 all platforms.
 
+### Note about Node child processes on Linux
+
+If you are using the Node.js `child_process` module and want to report crashes
+from those processes on Linux, there is an extra step you will need to take to
+properly initialize the crash reporter in the child process. This is not
+necessary on Mac or Windows, as those platforms use Crashpad, which
+automatically monitors child processes.
+
+Since `require('electron')` is not available in Node child processes, the
+following APIs are available on the `process` object in Node child processes.
+Note that, on Linux, each Node child process has its own separate instance of
+the breakpad crash reporter. This is dissimilar to renderer child processes,
+which have a "stub" breakpad reporter which returns information to the main
+process for reporting.
