The Linux will run on anything, PPC, x86, 64 bit, Cell Processor, soon the phantom processor, and the iPod, XBOX, PS3, PS2, Wii, Nintendo DS,
The structure of Linux is that it has a layer that interacts with programs, a layer that interacts with the hardware and there is not much I'm leaving out. With Windows there are so many virtual machines and other things involved it's crazy.

What is the architecture of Linux with diagrams?

When was Advanced Linux Sound Architecture created?
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture was created in 1998.
What is the architecture of microkernels developed in Linux?
Linux is a monolithic kernel. Some operating systems with a microkernel use Linux as a process for providing drivers, but this is irrelevant to mainstream Linux.
What does Pam stand for in Linux?
Linux Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) provide dynamic authorization for applications and services in a Linux system. Linux PAM is evolved from the Unix Pluggable Authentication Modules architecture.
Is it good practice to run both windows and Linux in an enterprise architecture?
It is good practice to run Linux anywhere and everywhere, particularly on servers facing the Internet though.
In what Language is Linux written?
C with a small smattering of assembler for the boot loader and some architecture-specific optimisations.
What is the maximum size of a Process Address space in Unix or Linux?
Indefinite. It is dependent on the computer architecture and the version being used.
What does i686 has to do with Linux?
i686 is a designation for an Intel processor architecture, falling under the x86 family. It's a 32-bit architecture. Kernel builds and distributions targeted for the i686 are for 32-bit processors/systems.
Is the architecture of Linux based on DOS?
No. Linux is a free, open-source version of UNIX. Many of DOS's commands were based on UNIX commands, but the underlying operating system is much more powerful than DOS.
What programming languages does Linux support?
Linux supports virtually all programming languages, both compiled and interpreted, commonplace and esoteric. It would be impossible to list all of them, but a comprehensive list can be found below:Compiled languagesCC++C# (through the Mono and DotGNU projects)Assembly (multiple CPUs)Objective-CFortranPascalDHaskellInterpreted languagesBashBasic (several dialects)MATLABPerlPHPPythonRubySmalltalk
Why can I get sound in Windows XP but not in Linux?
The answer is drivers. In Linux, they are called modules, but they serve the same function. They are little pieces of code that allow the operating system to understand how to interface with your hardware. Depending on which version of Linux you installed and depending on which sound hardware you have will determine how easily you get sound. Most Linux distributions now depend on something called the ALSA sound system, which is a very versatile architecture for doing sound on Linux. Ubuntu, for example, will do its best to detect your hardware and use the right modules automatically.
Why far pointer is not there in Linux?
Pointer types are very specific to the compiler used and oftentimes subject to the target architecture. The concept of a near/far differentiation may not have any meaning on the memory model of your target. This has nothing to do with Linux or whatever OS you choose to use. More information should be provided with the documentation of your compiler.
