What is the most common hardware component to fail on Linux systems?

Linux systems aren't any more prone to physical failure than any other computer systems. If you are referring to a device being incompatible with Linux, the most troublesome are probably controllerless dial-up modems (WinModems).

What is the purpose of a NDISwrapper?
Sometimes hardware cannot run without problems on Linux-based operating systems. To solve this, NDISwrapper emulates a Windows environment within Linux, which allows Linux to communicate with the hardware without binary emulation.
How do you access a Linux partition from Windows XP?
There are programs you can download that will read Linux file systems. Common file systems are ext2 and ext3.
What are the hardware requirements for Linux?
Linux doesn't have exact hardware requirements. The hardware you need depends on what you are using it for.
Who created the Linux operating system and when did they do it?
Linus Torvalds was the principal engineer who created the Linux kernel, the chief component behind modern Linux operating systems used today such as Ubuntu, SUSE, or Fedora.
What is the defining component of Linux?
Linux strictly speaking is a kernel used in many different operating systems. The simple answer is "the linux kernel" but that's not entirely correct, depending on whether the question is about Linux the kernel, or the often misused label "linux" meant to refer to any one of several hundred operating systems that run over the linux kernel. In my opinion, the defining component, the dominant trait, of linux is the modular design of the kernel. It need only be as big and complex as required, making it very small and simple, or a monolithic giant that can do anything, or anywhere in between.
What is the Linux kernel?
The Linux kernel is the central component of the GNU/Linux operating system. The kernel is the lowest level of interaction between the hardware and the operating system. Individual applications are at a higher level. The kernel along with supporting applications make up the operating system.
Why can't we use Linux OS in embedded system instead of VxWorks?
Depending on the system in question, you can. VxWorks has lower hardware requirements than Linux, so it is often used in weaker systems.
What is the core component of the Linux operating system?
The Linux kernel.
What is the difference between a proprietary operating system and the android operating system?
Proprietary operating systems are commercial operating systems designed to run on specific computer hardware for which they are licensed. Other operating systems such as Linux and OpenBSD are free and open source and can be used on any hardware on which someone can make it work. The Android operating system is a Google implementation of Linux designed to work on smart phones and tablets.
Is Linux hardware?
No, Linux is simply the operating system running on the hardware, much in the same way that you could run Windows or another OS on the same hardware.
Is Linux harware or sofware?
Linux is a Software which interacts with hardware using device drivers and controls the hardware using kernel routines.
What are two operating systems?
Two operating systems are; Windows, and Linux.
