Product description

From the Back Cover

For the past two decades, dinosaurs have roamed the cover of Silberschatz, Galvin, and Gagne′s OPERATING SYSTEM CONCEPTS. The product of a long process of evolutionary adaptations, this best–selling text has continually evolved to address the latest trends in operating system design. With its strong emphasis on underlying concepts and rich selection of examples and case studies, no other text provides such a solid theoretical foundation for understanding operating systems.

Now in a fully revised and updated Sixth Edition, OPERATING SYSTEM CONCEPTS offers new chapters on Threads and Windows 2000, as well as new and expanded coverage of the client–server model and NFS, small footprint operating systems for PDAs, real–time operating systems, Linux, FreeBSD, distributed operating systems, and more.

Very interesting book, even though it's a quite old edition I don't feel as a newer book would have tought me anything more. I just had this course at my university and I used this book as reference.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accessible treatment of complex topics
Reviewed in the United States on 11 March 2005
Verified Purchase
This book does a great job of presenting all details of operating system design and operation. When appropriate, the authors point out how Linux, Solaris or Windows implements a given topic. This is valuable for software developers who work on these platform and need to understand how the scheduler is going to react if you spawn new threads/processes.

The one bad thing I can say is that some examples are too general and do not convey the proper detail. This is just a minor distraction and does not take away from the book's overall effectiveness.
