Kernels
Kernels are the middle man between your devices software and hardware. Kernels are specific for some builds. If you use an AOSP ROM, you need an AOSP kernel. If you use TouchWiz then you need a TouchWiz kernel. With Samsung phones, the kernel also includes recovery. Not all kernels (or ROMs) have a custom recovery and therefore once they are flashed, you may lose the ability to flash or restore a ROM until a kernel with a custom recovery is flashed via ODIN or Heimdall. You may find a list of kernels for the Epic 4G Touch in this database.

Heimdall
Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy S devices. It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows (XP, Vista, 7 etc.). It is an alternative to the proprietary closed-source tool ODIN which only runs on Windows OS.
