• Process scheduler: This is responsible for managing processes
• Virtual filesystem: This represents a common file interface to a huge variety of devices
• Network interface: This manages network standard and networking devices
• Inter-process communications: This manages communication between many processes in a single system
• Device drivers: These are present to make the device hardware usable
