    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.
    
    The "ovz" variant of kernel packages is an OpenVZ kernel.
    
    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-*-ovz-smp).
