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