- <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 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.</para>
