The steps are not difficult, but there are variations between distros of Linux. To simplify the instructions, I created /usr/src/linux as [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The tools and there version play a critical role in the building of a kernel. Most tools are required, but a few (such as the graphical packages required for gconfig or xconfig) are optional. Besides having the right tools installed on the system, the tool versions must match those required to build the installed kernel source. The purpose of this article is to minimize the chance of a kernel build failure due to a missing or improper version of a necessary tool.]]></description>

Rather than restate the instructions provide with each distro, I am going to provide the links with comments.]]></description>

What is wrong with the kernel that comes with the distro? In many cases, the default kernel works just fine. Conversely, there are reasons for compiling a new kernel.]]></description>

Most of the pages on the Web refer to CFS as it was in version 2.6.23 of the Linux kernel. Most web pages do not provide accurate information. I really wonder [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Linux Kernel manages all hardware through device drivers. Furthermore, the kernel operates in its own protected memory space, which is not accessible from user memory space. Hardware device communicate to the Kernel via interrupts and exceptions. User applications communicate to the Kernel via system calls, which actually trigger a CPU exception that interrupts the [...]]]></description>
