The base of Linux is the kernel. You could replace each and every
|
|
library, but as long as the Linux kernel remained, it would still be
|
|
Linux. The kernel contains device drivers, memory management, process
|
|
management and communication management. The kernel hacker gurus
|
|
follow POSIX guidelines which sometimes makes programming easier and
|
|
sometimes harder. If your program behaves differently on a new Linux
|
|
kernel release, chances are that a new POSIX guideline has been
|
|
implemented. For programming information about the Linux kernel,
|
|
read the Linux Kernel Hacker's Guide.
