I am posting to this mailing list since it is Development related and it isnt a HOWTO question.

I am looking for a book that is similar to The Design of the UNIX Operating System by Maurice J. Bach but also for the Linux OS. Is this book still relevant to Linux even thought it isnt the "same"? I have heard bad reviews of Linux Internals by Moshe Bar and was wondering what would be a better book for the deep internals of the OS....not exactly going over the code.

I liked the "Linux device drivers" book. There is a new addition out, more information at: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxdrive2/

Hello.

MJWL> Hello Robert , Is the one you are speaking about published

This book was lished about 1-2 month ago.

The fly-leaf says
January 2001 First Edition
ISBN 0-596-00002-2

I think it may have been hanging around in script for a bit - the 2nd edition of Tanenbaum's 'Modern Operating Systems' (also 2001) has it referenced as '2000'
