The Linux kernel is at the core of every Linux system. It's what makes
|
|
Linux tick. When a computer is turned on and boots a Linux system, the
|
|
very first piece of Linux software that gets loaded is the kernel. The
|
|
kernel initializes the system's hardware components such as serial
|
|
ports, parallel ports, sound cards, network cards, IDE controllers, SCSI
|
|
controllers and a lot more. In a nutshell the kernel makes the hardware
|
|
available so that the software can run.
