| [b822811] | 10 | <para>The Linux kernel is at the core of every Linux system. It's what makes
|
|---|
| [7d90bd3] | 11 | Linux tick. When a computer is turned on and boots a Linux system, the
|
|---|
| [6370fa6] | 12 | very first piece of Linux software that gets loaded is the kernel. The
|
|---|
| [bed61bb] | 13 | kernel initializes the system's hardware components: serial ports, parallel
|
|---|
| 14 | ports, sound cards, network cards, IDE controllers, SCSI controllers and a
|
|---|
| 15 | lot more. In a nutshell the kernel makes the hardware available so that the
|
|---|
| 16 | software can run.</para></sect4>
