No matter if you are on the black hat side or the white hat side, one of the best things about being someone who is a hacker is messing with the underlying kernel of the operating system. People who call themselves hackers are people who are interested in technology and the underlying parts of it. [...]

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }a:link { } Kernel is the key component of Linux operating system, which works as a bridge between applications and data processing performed at hardware level. Its responsibilities include managing resources of the system (communication between hardware components and hardware). The Linux kernel provides lowest-level abstraction for the resources, which must [...]

When you use the Linux operating system, it is completely different than Windows. Most hardware is specifically designed for the Windows environment meaning that at times certain hardware does not seem to work well with Linux. This does not mean it will not work at all. There are some steps that you can take to [...]

Boot loaders such as GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader), LILO (Linux Loader) etc. enable you to select to boot a particular operating system in multiboot or dual boot systems. After selecting the operating system (for example Linux), the booting process initially starts with the booting of Linux Kernel program. A Linux Kernel program is the central [...]

Linux Synchronization We need synchronization mechanisms when two or more threads try to access a shared resource simultaneously. By using synchronization mechanisms kernel allows only one thread to execute while the other threads wait. Concurrency in Uniprocessor systems You may be thinking that how multiple threads may execute concurrently when there is only one CPU. [...]
