Summary:

A discussion of what is and what isn't Linux

Abstract:

Linux Desktop environments are often compared to MacOS and MS Windows 
environments, but in reality Linux is just the Kernel. The desktop 
environments, developer toolchains, and application software are 
separate from the kernel, and many of them also run on a variety of 
other UNIX platforms.

Chris reviews various hardware architectures, the history of C and UNIX, 
the GNU toolchain, the Linux kernel, and the low-level components that 
make the kernel usable.
