In computer networking, TUN and TAP are kernel virtual network devices. Being network devices supported entirely in software, they differ from ordinary network devices which are backed by physical network adapters. The Universal TUN/TAP Driver originated in 2000 as a merger of the corresponding drivers in Solaris, Linux and BSD. [1]

If the Linux kernel community had to exist somewhere physically, it would call the Linux Kernel Mailing List home. The LKML functions as the central place where Linux developers around the world share patches, argue about implementation details, and discuss other issues. [1] The official releases of the Linux kernel are indicated by an email to ...
Linus Torvalds developed the Linux kernel and distributed its first version, 0.01, in 1991. Linux was initially distributed as source code only, and later as a pair of downloadable floppy disk images: one bootable and containing the Linux kernel itself, and the other with a set of GNU utilities and tools for setting up a file system. Since the ...
