LINUX

KERNEL

• A kernel is the central part of an operating system. It manages the operations of

the computer and the hardware, most notably memory and CPU time.
KERNEL

• The kernel is the most fundamental part of an operating system.

• It can be thought of as the program which controls all other programs on the computer.
• When the computer starts, it goes through some initialization (booting) functions, such
as checking memory.
• It is responsible for assigning and unassigning memory space which allows software
to run.

LINUX OS
• Linus Torvalds : build kernel for linux
• GNU tool chain : libraries , shell and compilers to run application design by Richard
Stallman
• Graphical environment: menus to treat with os need window system to work
• Window system ‫لملفات‬--‫مثيلمرئيل‬---‫توفرلكت‬---‫ب‬
• Package manager: programs and application such as APT
• Distribution software repository
 LINUX DISTRIBUTION

• A Linux distribution (often abbreviated as distro) is an operating system made from a software
collection that is based upon the Linux kernel and, often, a package management system.
• Linux users usually obtain their operating system by downloading one of the Linux
distributions, which are available for a wide variety of systems ranging from embedded devices
(for example, OpenWrt) and personal computers (for example, Linux Mint) to powerful
supercomputers (for example, Rocks Cluster Distribution).
• A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional
software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a
window manager, and a desktop environment.
