What's the relationship between a Linux OS and a kernel? -


I've been using Linux for many years, but do not go ahead with installing CD / DVD. If the app manager did not see what I was looking for in the software, then I was lost.

But right now I'm trying to get a hold of "Linux". / P>

The first word "kernel" in my head is after reading on Wikipedia, I understand that to give access to a software hardware (CPU, RAM +++) other software (OS + App) Its going on. It also handles memory, but it is not what OS should do (what do I remember from the OS class)?

Is there a rich list of Linux software?

Take my favorite portraits: Fedora is now in version 14 and the ship with kernel 2.6.35.

Does the kernel come central from anywhere and every is the core of Linux distro? If this is true, is there a way to make Linux user friendly to Linux using a computer? In this way, the distro + kernel OS is because without the other one is not usable (probably the net kernel, but who sits on it?).

Too much right for me, "Linux" is the only kernel but the whole distribution in the form of Linux Referencing is very common. That's why RMS is so disturbed that it should be called GNU / Linux because it sees distribution as additional software from the Linux kernel and the GNU project. It also makes sense, but I never use the term GNU / Linux. I'm talking about either kernel Linux or "Linux distribution" or specific distribution.

So yes, a distribution is only kernel (which may include distribution specific patches) plus all additional programs that make it usable.

The kernel is a central project, and is nominally similar to each disto, but most distros customize it a little bit.

And additional software does not only make the kernel more user-friendly, it makes it useful at all. A kernel simply disrupts the handler, device drivers, and system calls. It basically virtualizes the hardware and provides a standard environment for the program to work.

As far as the phrase "operating system" goes, it can be confusing. Some people can say that the kernel is the operating system, and everyone else is either a utility or an application or some other people can say that the kernel and some other packages create operating systems, but most of the software is not part of the operating system Are there. Others say that all software is part of the destro forms of the operating system.

Eclipse CDT variable colors in editor -

I hope this is a good question to ask here. This programming is related, so I thought it would be better than the superuser, so I am using the CDT C ++ Eclipse plugin. I know how the editor changes colors for some things But is there a way to do that all the variables are different colors? For example in KDEValue, it sets the local variables and square variables in different colors and bold square squares. Can I copy it to CDT? Eclips provides some level of color customization for text editor syntax You can see it on the following: There are many elements, including the Window> Preferences> C / C ++> Editor> Syntax color code that can be changed, assembly, Comments, Preprocessor and Doxian Under the code, it is possible to change the color of some variable types, such as global variables, local variable announcements, local variable references, and parameter variables. But I do not think the code is capable of changing the color of each variable declared....
