  • Textbooks Required Operating System Concepts (8th Edition), Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne, ISBN 978-0-470-12872-5.

    Required, read it online The Linux Kernel, David Rusling. A locally stored copy is kept here.  No attempt will be made to keep the local copy synch'ed with the official copy.

    Strongly encouraged Running Linux (4th Edition), Welsh et al., ISBN 0-596-00272-6. Unless you are already running a Linux system on a personal machine (and maybe even then) I highly recommend you read this book. Available online through the UW Libraries here.

    Chapters from a draft text, here.

    Video Required Every OS Sucks, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie, here.
