Two Excerpts from “Modern Operating Systems”

InformIT.com features two special articles (free registration required), excerpts from the “Modern Operating Systems” book by Dr. Andrew Tanenbaum (who is also the author of Minix – the ‘grandfather’ of Linux). This book is valued as the Bible of the operating system design and implementation and every serious OS designer/developer has by his/her side. The two free chapters featured, are “A History of Operating Systems” and “Operating System Threads“. A must read for everyone and if you are serious into operating systems, you should very well buy the book with no second thought. Our Take: It’s that good. Highly recommended by both myself and my husband (who is already largely involved in three operating systems so far).
