Good book teaching OS using Linux

Question

I am preparing for some interviews and I would like to review OS concepts. I have found this so far. I dont want a Linux kernel in a nutshell or administration or programming, but a book that goes over operating systems using Linux as the primary template. Do you all have any good suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

Andrew Tanenbaum's Operating Systems: Design and Implementation was a seminal book on OS design.

It describes Minix, but the concepts in it inspired Linus Torvalds to create the Linux kernel (it was a 'stepping stone', you could say)

Answer 2

Design of the UNIX OS by Maurice Bach.

Answer 3

• Operating systems: internals and design principles by William Stallings
  • contains a section specific to Unix/Linux/Solaris/Windows for almost every chapter covered (sometimes only a selection of those)

and

• Operating System Concepts by Avi Silberschatz
  • contains first a generic run down on most topics. Then there are case studies included for Linux / Windows XP / BSD on some of the generic covered topics

Answer 4

Book

Systems Analysis And Design Methods

Sites

• Tutorial site that may teach you the Unix/Linux operating system.
• Site that slightly touches Unix/Linux while explaining operating systems primary functions.
