An analogy would be to picture a large,
single-story home with all the utilities,
appliances, furnishings, and rooms
contained within the same building.
Rearranging furniture in a huge packed
room is similar to the considerable

one component of system.
Device drivers, file systems,
and the kernel are all housed
in the same address space
as a monolithic operating
system.
