| 9 | <para>The Linux kernel is at the core of every Linux system. It's what makes
|
|---|
| 10 | Linux tick. When a computer is turned on and boots a Linux system, the
|
|---|
| 11 | very first piece of Linux software that gets loaded is the kernel. The
|
|---|
| 12 | kernel initializes the system's hardware components such as serial
|
|---|
| 13 | ports, parallel ports, sound cards, network cards, IDE controllers, SCSI
|
|---|
| 14 | controllers and a lot more. In a nutshell the kernel makes the hardware
|
|---|
| 15 | available so that the software can run.</para>
