The Linux kernel is a free Unix-like operating system kernel that was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and subsequently improved with the assistance of developers around the world.
The fact that Linux is not a microkernel was the topic of a famous flame war between Linus Torvalds and Andy Tanenbaum on comp.os.minix in 1992.
The Linux kernel is written in the version of the C programming language supported by the GNU GCC compiler (which supports a superset of standard C), together with relatively short sections of code written in the assembly language of the target architecture (and at last count Linux supported about 20 different processor families).

The Linux kernel is discussed on the linux-kernel mailing list at vger.kernel.org.
The Linux kernel, as well as several other pieces of software, are maintained using the git source code control system.

 Kernel comparison: Improvements in kernel development from 2.4 to 2.6
Historically, bugs found in the Linux kernel were reported to the Linux kernel mailing list, to more component- or architecture-specific mailing lists, or directly to the individual that maintains the section of code where the bug was found.
Linux distributors and even end users wanting an early peek at what would be in the 2.6 kernels were the main audience for this information, which allowed them to determine if there were programs they should upgrade in order to take advantage of new features.
Lists were created to -- among other things -- keep track of new kernel features that had been proposed, and the Kernel Janitors project began keeping a list of smaller bugs and cleanups (Kernel Janitors is still being updated).

 KernelTrap
A kernel crash dump is a snapshot of system state taken at the time that the kernel crashed, useful for finding and debugging the problem that caused the crash in the first place.
A "Linux Kernel Dump Summit" was recently mentioned on the lkml, with participants from some of the many crash dump projects looking to standardize the dump process and information collected.
In a conversation that began as a request to include the SAS Transport Layer in the mainline Linux kernel, there was an interesting thread regarding specifications.

In computing, the Linux kernel is a free Unix-like operating system kernel created by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and subsequently improved with the assistance of developers around the world.
All Linux releases with an even minor version number (the second component) are part of a stable series: 1.0.x, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, 2.2.x, 2.4.x and the current 2.6.x; releases with an odd minor version number, such as the 2.5.x series, are development versions not intended for production use.
The fact that Linux is not a microkernel was the topic of a famous flame war between Linus Torvalds and Andy Tanenbaum.

LRU lists are maintained for the buffers in the various states, with separate lists for buffers of different sizes.
Kernel structures are often designed such that the commonly-accessed members all fit into one cache-line, which reduces cache pollution.
Code executing in kernel mode (that is, with access to the kernel's memory) from a syscall entry point is said to have a process context.

 Welcome to KernelNewbies.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
This project is mostly about the Linux kernel, but discussion about other kernels is welcome too, especially if the source code of that other kernel is freely available, so everybody can learn.
The audience mostly consists of people who are learning about the kernel, working on kernel projects or professional kernel hackers that want to help less seasoned kernel people.
However, discussions totally unrelated to the kernel should not by held in this channel; the #offtopic channel is the right place for that.
