More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
For advanced undergraduate/graduate-level courses.
This text offers an exceptionally up-to-date, in-depth, and broad-based exploration of the latest advances in UNIX-based operating systems. Focusing on the design and implementation of the operating system itself -- not on the applications and tools that run on it -- this text compares and analyzes the alternatives offered by several important UNIX variants, and covers several advanced subjects, such as multi-processors and threads.

Two Thumbs Up,
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers (An Alan R. Apt book) (Paperback)
Kinda hard to hold the book while holding-up both your thumbs... An excellent book, highly recommended. I have been designing operating systems for well over a decade, and this is a worthy addition to my bookshelf. However, if you need an introductory text, I instead would recommend Tanenbaum's Operating Systems Design and Implementation.

This review is from: UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers (An Alan R. Apt book) (Paperback)
There are those of us who would just like to use the UNIX operating system. Then there are those curious people that want to know what are the inode is, and the Super block is, and how is the directory structure made?
Most of us would be satisfied, if someone said the inode was a file. Then there are those, who say "Oh know you don't. What is its structure?" I say, "just read Unix Internals"

This review is from: UNIX Internals: The New Frontiers (An Alan R. Apt book) (Paperback)
I've been involved with operating systems for 25 Years. With respect to the Unix operating system, this book is clear and to the point. All system admins should have one so they know what is really goin on under the hood!
