[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 900674, member: 71075"] The EFI is one level lower than the operating system as illustrated by [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Efi-simple.svg"]this[/URL] picture. The kernel is part of the operating system. Like your definition states, it is the central part of the OS, responsible for quite a bit of low level stuff. If you are this confused by the terminology and the differences, perhaps it would be best to leave it alone. You don't need to know the difference to effectively operate your machine. [/QUOTE]
