A while back, some one posted a link to what the actual Linux kernel sounds like. Can't find it now. Anyone?

Not trying to be smart, but how does a kernel sound like anything?Do you mean the pronunciation of Linux, as a word?

No, there was a thread awhile back that actually had what the Linux kernel sounded like. I don't know how a kernel can sound like anything but, there it was. Wish I could find it. And, yes, I do produce music. :)

was it the net radio station where the linux kernel is read aloud or the one where the compiled data was turned into an audio stream?

Maybe it was something like:

sudo cat /boot/kernel26.img > /dev/dsp

What I think the OP is referring to is someone probably took the kernel and had it played through a media app that can somehow play raw binary data.

Many, many years ago I had a program on my Mac Plus which I could do this with. It is a very odd thing to "hear" a compiled program.
