The very computer you're using to read and process this content has a kernel. That same system also has processes and threads running on it. Let's explore those details and, like we did in hardware, and write a report.

  1. Explore your operating system and discover the following details:
    1. What's the kernel called?
    2. What kernel modules are loaded?
    3. What version of the kernel are you running?
  2. How many processes are running on your system?
    1. How many threads are running
    2. How much RAM are the processes and threads using?
  3. What's the most CPU and RAM intensive task running on your system?

Write up a simple report which includes the tools you used to gather this information. Screenshots help with explaining what you're seeing.
