-All modern operating systems are comprised of a kernel and user land.  The

-level (ring 0) while the later deals with the end user and operates at the lowest
-privilege level (ring 3).  The two interface at one central library referred to

+All modern operating systems are comprised of a kernel and userland. The
+kernel deals with hardware and resource management and runs at the highest
+privilege level, providing a basic interface to the userland which contains all
+the program logic and operates at the lowest privilege level. But, since the
+interfaces provided by the kernel are too basic and differ strongly from one
+system to another they usually interface through a library whith standarized
+functions, the most frequent of which is the one for the C language. This
+library is reffered usually as "the C standard library". By far, the most
+popular is "The GNU C library", or
+<uri link="http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/">glibc</uri> for short;
+although, for embedded systems <uri link="http://www.uclibc.org/">uClibc</uri>
+is the C library of choice, anyway there are other competitors (see
+<uri link="http://www.musl-libc.org/">musl</uri>). uClibc (where the "u" is
+sometimes written as the Greek "mu" that is, µ, for "micro") is much smaller
+than glibc, less bloated, much faster, and very configurable.
