Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Linux kernel do?

The kernel manages hardware, memory, processes, and access to system resources while providing system calls that programs use to request services.

Will I learn about kernel modules?

Yes. The course explains how modules extend the kernel and introduces tools such as lsmod and modprobe for inspecting and managing them.

Do I need to compile a kernel?

No. The course focuses on kernel concepts, locations, versions, installation, modules, privilege levels, and system calls rather than requiring a custom build.
