Additional Resources

The CEO of Eucalyptus and Lavender Incorporated has decided that it is more cost efficient to build a Linux distribution and support it with on-site dedicated kernel engineers than to pay for support from a proprietary Linux vendor. She has asked that you prepare a new Linux kernel for the proof-of-concept kernel project. To complete this lab, download the kernel source code as the cloud_user to the server, and extract it to the /root directory. Good luck!
