Editing Vmlinux (section)

==Etymology==
Traditionally, [[UNIX]] platforms called the kernel image <code>/unix</code>. With the development of [[virtual memory]], kernels that supported this feature were given the <code>vm</code>- prefix to differentiate them. The name <code>vmlinux</code> is a mutation of [[vmunix]], while in <code>vmlinuz</code> the letter <code>z</code> at the end denotes that it is compressed (for example [[gzip]]ped).<ref name="linfo">{{cite web
