The kernel is, as the name suggests, the core of the operating system
of the computer. The kernel is constantly under development to add new
functionality of to improve performance.
Installing a new kernel is often the only time you need to reboot your
computer.
In this chapter we will review various kernel versions (and issues
associated with these versions) and then provide a recipe to compile
your own kernel, which you may want to do to have a kernel specific
for your own needs.
