Hi All I think i should make a statement here. What makes an operating system. The kernel as well as its utilities. Correct me if i am wrong. while saying linux we are talking of only the kernel. Then where is the mention of the utilities which make up the os. It is like mentioning the car engine which represents only a part of the car.
