the kernal is the central part of the Linux operating system and determines how the system works - all distributions of Linux are based on this.
If you mean inventing the Linux Kernel, then it's Linus Torvalds. I
Kernal is part of the Ubuntu operating system run by Linux. Kernels is a speciality popcorn store that is located all throughout the provinces of Canada.
Linus Torvalds was the creator of the first linux kernal but other then him thousands of users have helped.
The device manager UDEV manages device nodes in /dev in Linux. It is a generic kernal device manager originally was introduced in Linux 2.5, and is still in the current version of Linux.
Eithne means kernal.
I THINK KERNAL IS THE INNERMOST PART OF THE COMPUTER. AND ALL REATED TO HARDWARE MEANS TIME SHARNG,MEMORY MANAGEMENT ETC IS DONE BY KERNAL. WHILE SHELL IS OUTER MOST PART OF COMPUTER. IT ACTS AS AN INTERFACE B/W USE AND OS. IN B/W KERNAL AND SHELL THR IS OS. O.S IS IN BETWEEN KERNAL AND SHELL ====================== I will take it this way... Superficial idea about the shell communication is very simple. Shell is a program(for Linux a process) which has been written to using the Kernal modules(Kernal is again a software program consist of many module).Kernal module provides different API which the shell programmer use to call depending upon the command placed by the user. Writting our own shell is bit difficult as it need through understanding of how the kenel behaves.
A kernal in Android is what software and hardware use to communicate.

a distro is a distrobution. a modified version of a Linux kernal (of which there are many!) check http://distrowatch.com/ to see which one suits you and also find out more information on Linux distros. think of it as like distros are just different versions, like win xp, vista, 95, 98, me, win2000 etc. all are built around the same structure, some are just built and modified and updated in different ways and work differently on different computers due to hardware and available Linux drivers for your hardware.
