I just discovered a nice locally-reprinted Operating Systems textbook that goes through the standard material, but takes its design examples from W2K, Solaris, and Linux! The book is "Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles, 4th Ed." by William Stallings, (c) 2001 Prentice-Hall, and is locally reprinted by Jemma Inc (Tel 656-4093, 655-7361), P492.00.
One paragraph says, "..Linux has now made significant penetration into the corporate world. This is not primarily because of the free software, but because of the quality of the Linux kernel. Many talented programmers have contributed to the current version, resulting in a technically impressive product. .. Throughout this book, we will provide details of Linux kernel internals." If you are interested in kernel internals, and comparison of W2K, Solaris, and Linux, then this is the book to get. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
