Summary of a Linux Kernel.

A Linux Kernel is basically the multiplexed core of the operating system. It's function is to instruct other systems from process's, memory and hardware devices on what to do and how to do it at any one given point in time when issued a command. A Kernel is compiled with 3 system levels. First one is the System Call Interface which runs basic read/write functions. Next is the Kernel Code which is the basic core anotomy of the system and is common to all processors. Last is the Arhitecture-Kernel Dependent Code which is specifically built for a processor and platform combination. The Kernel can take direction from multiple users at the same time and run stably under the harshest conditions compared to other operating systems.

7 Things You Didn't Need To Know About Me

  1. I am a truck guy, but drive a 2005 Honda Civic.
  2. I entered the United States Army in 1996 as a OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Helicopter Repairer. I completed Basic Training in Ft. Jackson, South Carolina and completed my Advanced Individual Training in Ft. Euestis, Virgina. I was stationed at Ft. Drum, New York were I received a medical discharge for a back injury.
  3. I was married to a high school sweet heart that I married at 18 years old. Dated her since we were 15 years old throughout junior and senior year in high school. Divorced her at 20 years old. Waited to get married again until I was 32 years old.
  4. I have worked on Army helicopters in 8 different states and 2 foreign countries. New York, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Arizona, California, Louisiana, Colorado, Hawaii, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
  5. My favorite color is red, but think hot pink hair is sexy on a fine woman!
  6. I love BBQ'ing and defiantly like to cook. I consider my meal's concoctions but 99% of the time they are great ones. I am a meat and potatoes man. I like my steaks medium rare. Love homemade Shepard's Pie (at least the way I make it). I hate peas, Lima beans, beets!
  7. My youngest sister is 17 1/2 years older than me. My other sister and brother are older than her.
