Two Thumbs Up 11 Mar 1999

By A Customer

Format: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.

You can be a smarty too 3 April 2010

By bernie VINE™ VOICE

Format: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"

If you're interested in Unix - buy this book! 17 April 2000

By Mr. P. D. Mckee

Format: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!
