ePurpose of the Kernel
➢The Linux kernel presents a virtual m achine interface to user processes
➢Processes are writ ten without needing any knowledge of what physical hardware is installed on a com puter
The Linux kernel abst racts all hardware into a consistent virtual interface
➢Linux supports m ult i-tasking in a m anner that is t ransparent to user processes

➢Since m ost plat form s will cont inue to deliver on road m aps for scalability, availability and m anageability in all the m arket segm ents to which Linux is an aspiring OS environm ent , the slope on which Linux will r ise in enterprise acceptance is governed by return on investm ent (ROI) analysis
