+<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: 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>
