<para>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: 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.</para>
