• Excellent Overview Of Concepts On Operating System
21 February, 2009
This book provides basic introduction to OS concepts with clear descriptions, complemented by good figures demonstrating the concepts being taught. In addition, it has a website that is rich with resources, providing a wealth of information whether to be used for teaching, presentations or further understanding.
However, this book does not dwell in depth into any particular topic. Further research or other technical books need to be undertaken on any particular topic of interest or actual implementations (Linux, Unix, etc).
Given my background in electrical/electronic engineering, this book serves me well to understand the basic concepts of OS design.

• Stallings Os 6th Edition
24 February, 2009
This book provides not only an excellent overview of general operating systems principles, but it also describes modern operating systems such as Windows (in its many guises), UNIX and Linux in great detail.
Another strength is the use of many excellent diagrams to illustrate the concepts dealt with in the book.
I am using it as a reference for one of my courses.
