Nearly perfect if you want to understand how unix works. I personally dislike Modern Operating Systems, I've read it and I didn't enjoy it. The last version of the book is much less tecnichal than the previous one, the so called Operating Systems. To give you the idea, Modern Operating Systems doesn't talk about Minix any more, you don't see a line of code, but it's full of "vaporware" about usb, windows and other things. I never read the books of Silberschatz, but everyone who read them told me they're good. -- Non c'è più forza nella normalità, c'è solo monotonia.
