Kernel

The Linux Kernel is the core component of every Linux system. It provides all of the needed device drivers and filesystems in addition to supporting multiple users and multitasking. It can be configured for all kinds of systems from small embedded devices up to large servers and super computers. No other operating system kernel offers this level of scalability. Most users normally do not have to give the Kernel another thought; it does its work invisibly in the background. However, for some special usage cases, it is necessary to know more about the inner workings of the Kernel. This track provides participants with background info about the deep internals of the Linux system Kernel.
