This article aims to '''simplify the knowledge of the basis of the IGEP Technology''' environment.
This article should be used as a reference for those concepts which are difficult to link by itself by users with poor or no experience with the IGEP Technology, ARM processors, the Linux Kernel or even Linux.
There should be basic definitions and links to the related articles (or maybe to categories, if they are wide enough) in the IGEP Community Wiki (articles where there would be better and complete explanations) so that newbies or even well experienced users can find their information quick and simple.

==Purpose and guidelines of this article==
<br>
This glossary aims to '''simplify the knowledge of the basis of the IGEP Technology''' environment, so that new users or even experienced users can find what they search as quickly and simply as possible.
Here you will find some '''basic definitions and their descriptions''' of the main concepts of the IGEP Technology. You will also find links to some related articles or categories inside the IGEP Community Wiki or to related external sites.
{{Message/Information Message|title=|message='''Can't find what you are looking for?''' Your answer might be at the [http://forum.isee.biz/ forum].
And remember, you can also help the community by creating a new entry in the glossary with your concept so that other users can fill the gap in the future.}}
