-# Basic model of a nix operating system

 We can abstract the Linux OS into three operational levels or tiers, from the
 bottom up:

-<dl>
-<dt>User processes: user space</dt>
-<dd>The running programs that the kernel manages. Also known as the user space which is the memory that the kernal assigns for user processes. Comprising:

-    <li>Servers</li> 
-    <li>Shell</li>    
-  </ul>
-<dt>Kernel: kernel space</dt>
-</dd>
-<dd>The core of the operating system. Software residing in memory that tells the CPU where to look for its next task. Acts as a mediator and primary interface between the hardware and the user processes. Known as kernel space: the memory that the kernel allocates for itself. Comprising:
-  <ul>
-    <li>System calls</li>
-    <li>Process management</li> 
-    <li>Memory management</li>    
-    <li>Device drivers</li>    
-  </ul>
-</dd>
-<dt>Hardware</dt>
-<dd>The base: one or more CPUs and RAM memory performing computations and writing to memory. Comprising:
-  <ul>
-    <li>Processor (CPU)</li>
-    <li>Main memory (RAM)</li> 
-    <li>Disks</li>    
-    <li>Network ports</li>
