Re: [plug] freebsd root password recovery

[Rowel Atienza]

        linux is not a kernel. linux is an OS. An OS is composed of
layers. The lowest layer is the kernel. It interacts directly with the
hardware. The second layer is the shell (eg bash, csh, tcsh, etc). The
shell acts as the middle man between the user and the kernel.  Lastly, we
have the application/development programs (eg perl, gcc, java, etc. )
