Summary: The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system)
Description:
This package contains the Linux kernel that is used to boot and run your system. Most hardware drivers for this kernel are built as modules. Some of these drivers are built separately from the kernel; they are available in separate packages (kernel-modules-*-std-smp). The "std" variant of kernel packages is a generic 2.6.x kernel which should support wide range of hardware, but does not contain patches which are useful only for some special applications (and may have undesirable side effects in other cases). This is the default 2.6.x kernel variant for ALT Linux distributions. The "std-smp" variant supports SMP systems, but should also work on uniprocessor systems without noticeable overhead (the SMP alternatives code automatically removes most of the SMP overhead if an uniprocessor system is detected). This kernel is configured for generic i586 processors and supports up to 4 GB physical RAM. If your 32-bit x86 system has more than 4 GB physical RAM, you need to use the "std-pae" kernel variant to access all available RAM. The "std-pae" kernel uses PAE mode to address up to 64 GB of physical RAM, but does not run on processors without PAE support.
