I have a couple questions on Linux?

Question

What is Linux coded in?

Where can i get the up to date linux source code?

What can I use to see and edit Linux code?

Answer 1

It's coded in C programming language, get source code from http://kernel.org/  and edit it in ANY text editor (examples: Notepad, Notepad++ and others)

Answer 2

Here is a really good start

http://www.kernel.org/

Answer 3

Linux is based off the original UNIX system. to edit the actual system code for Linux you need to get yourself a copy of any form depending on which you want to develop for. Their is a Debian based form of linux like ubuntu. Then their is a much more in depth form like Red Hat.

also to start and develop your own here is a set of source code in a cross refrence

http://lxr.linux.no/

also for any other forms of questions you can always refer back to linux's main page

http://www.linux.org/

but for more info on your topic go to here

Answer 4

1. The kernel is coded in C. Certain platform-specific parts will be written in Assembly language. Higher level programs are written in a variety of languages, from C to C++ to Java.

2. For the kernel, you can get it from

http://kernel.org/

You could do a git checkout for up to the minute code sources from various developers, but that could get confusing.

3. A standard text editor.
