    I am newbie. And I want to know more information about what is a kernel and what does it do. Links and whatever info is welcome.

    I hope I am making the right question... Most specifically I want to know what is Mac OS X kernel and what does it handle. All I hear are "kernel panics", "stable kernel" etc. and I don't know what it is!

    It makes your doohicky work with the thingamawhatsit and if it panics, then the shmangy goes kaput.

    Score another one for technical terms! :)





    Basically, it is the core of your operating system.
