Linux is  Growing Daily. Its now used in many electronics Devices like Cell Phones, PDA's, MP3 Players, ST Boxes, Printer etc. apart from the large Servers. No longer its just for the IT professionals.Join the Wave of Linux.This site covers all most all  the topics, required survive in the world of Linux. The  Most of the Linux  informations are  tested on  Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat and CentOS  Linux.

Linux Kernel

Kernel is the core of the Operationg System. Which provides the basic services for all other part of the Operating System. Typically, a kernel (or any comparable center of an operating system) includes an interrupt handler that handles all requests or completed I/O operations that compete for the kernel's services, a scheduler that determines which programs share the kernel's processing time in what order, and a supervisor that actually gives use of the computer to each process when it is scheduled. A kernel may also include a manager of the operating system's address spaces in memory or storage, sharing these among all components and other users of the kernel's services. A kernel's services are requested by other parts of the operating system.or by application programs through a specified set of program interfaces sometimes known as system calls.Because the code that makes up the kernel is needed continuously, it is usually loaded into computer storage in an area that is protected so that it will not be overlaid with other less frequently used parts of the operating system.The kernel is not to be confused with the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).Some kernels have been developed independently for use in any operating system that wants to use it. A well-known example is the Mach kernel, developed at Carnegie-Mellon University, and currently used in a version of the Linux operating system for Apple's PowerMac computers. 

“Linux (often pronounced LIH-nuhks with a short "i") is a Unix-like operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system comparable to traditional and usually more expensive Unix systems. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system. Linux's kernel (the central part of the operating system) was developed by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in Finland. To complete the operating system, Torvalds and other team members made use of system components developed by members of the Free Software Foundation for the GNU Project. Read  more.....”
