Linux driver?

Question

linux

In an interview test for a sysadmin job, I came across a very strange question:
What would you call "driver" in a Windows world, how would you call it on Linux?
Either I'm a shitty sysadmin, or they're very fat trolls. What is the answer? driver?

Answer 1

A driver is also called a driver in Linux, and is a kernel module.

Answer 2

Windows - driver;
NIX - kernel module
OS X - kernel extension (kext).

Answer 3

It is strange that they did not ask about the codec and folder.
