GNU/Linux, and all other operating systems, are based around a kernel which controls hardware access and maximizes CPU and RAM efficiency by controlling when and how much programs get to use. The difference between Linux and most other operating systems (closed source ones at least BSD and other open source OS's you can do this with) is that you can compile the kernel to meet your needs.

I looked that source of the web page and found the reason there are multiple comments about this incomplete article. It appears that the author doesn't understand the concept of using brackets directly (which browsers interpret as HTML tags) vs. using the lt and gt representations. For example, it SHOULD read:
mount /dev/<your /partition name here> -rw /mnt/linux
The author just made a serious HTML no-no ... it certainly would help this article to correct this.
