Line 10: A kernel is not a complete operating system. A complete system build around the Linux kernel is known as the [[Linux operating system]]. All Linux releases with an even sub-version (the second component) are part of a stable series, namely: 1.0.x, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, 2.2.x, and the current 2.4.x. ~~The current stable release of the Linux operating system is the 2.4.x series.~~ === Architecture === Line 28: Linux currently runs on the following machine architectures: [[Intel]] [[80386]] and up: [[IBM PC]]s and compatibles with CPUs: [[80386]], [[80486]], and the entire [[Pentium]] series; [[AMD]] [[Athlon]], [[~~IA64~~Duron]], ~~(Itanium)~~[[Thunderbird]] [[IA64]]: PCs with Intel Itanium [[AMD\|AMD's]] [[Athlon]], [[Duron]], [[Thunderbird]] [[Compaq\|Compaq's]] [[Alpha processor\|Alpha]] [[MIPS architecture\|Mips]]: [[Silicon Graphics, Inc.]] machines, ... [[PowerPC]] [[Motorola]] 68020 and up: newer [[Amiga]]s, some [[Apple computer]]s [[Sun Microsystems\|Sun Microsystem's]] [[SPARC]] [[PowerPC]]: most newer [[Apple computer]]s, ...
