+The Linux kernel is at the core of every Linux system. It's what makes
+Linux tick. When you turn on your computer and boot 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.
