Source

This source folder contains the folder- "linux-2.6.35.3". It is the source code for
Linux kernel image
Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix. It has all the features you would
expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory,
shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
management, and multitask networking including IPv4 and IPv6.
Linux is easily portable to most general-purpose 32- or 64-bit architectures as long
as they have a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a port of the GNU C
compiler (gcc) (part of The GNU Compiler Collection, GCC). Linux has also been
ported to a number of architectures without a PMMU, although functionality is then
obviously somewhat limited. Linux has also been ported to itself. You can now run
the kernel as a user space application - this is called User Mode Linux (UML).
