 ===== Kernel Types =====
 We currently build two "lines" of kernels, one called KS or KitchenSink.  This kernel tries to include drivers for as many devices as possible, sometimes as the cost of performance, and this is the kernel that we ship with FOG by default.  The other "line" is the PS kernel or the Peter Sykes kernel, which is a based on a config submitted by a user.  This kernel line tries to be faster, but may not include as many drivers as the KS kernel.
 ===== Updating the Kernel =====

	In FOG, there aren't really drivers you need to find and download for your clients to work, this is because we ship a Linux kernel that has the majority of hardware device built into it. What this means is if you have a device that doesn't work with FOG you need to either build a new kernel yourself or try a newer kernel that has been released via our kernel updater.

 ===== Overview =====
 In order to add a computer to a domain, FOG requires a username and password that has rights to the OU where the computer objects are stored in the domain tree.  FOG attempts to keep your password secure by encrypting it, but since FOG is open source and the methods used to encrypt the password are open for all to see, it is possible for someone to decrypt your password if you don't change the FOG "Passkey."  It is highly recommended that you change this Passkey before implementing the AD integration in a production environment.  Changing the Passkey requires you to recompile the FOG Service's Hostname change module, but don't panic this isn't hard and it only needs to be done one time.
