"God saw everything that he had made, and saw that it was very good. " -- Bible King James Version. Genesis 1:31
This chapter gives an overview of a Linux system. First, the major services provided by the operating system are described. Then, the programs that implement these services are described with a considerable lack of detail. The purpose of this chapter is to give an understanding of the system as a whole, so that each part is described in detail elsewhere.
