Operating Systems
An applied introduction to the principles of operating systems while guiding them through most Operating Systems. Aimed at students those who are interested in using, rather than designing computers operating systems, and networks, the text shows why operating systems are needed and what, at a functional, black-box level, they do. author: Rajkumar, T.M.; publisher: Addison-Wesley Educational Publishers

Prentice Hall Modern Operating Systems
For software development professionals and computer science students, <I>Modern Operating Systems</I> gives a solid conceptual overview of operating system design, including detailed case studies of Unix/Linux and Windows 2000.<p>Readers familiar with Tanenbaum's previous text, <I>Operating Systems</I>, know the author is a great proponent of simple design and hands-on experimentation. His earlier book came bundled with the source code for an operating system called Minux, a simple variant of Unix and the platform used by Linus Torvalds to develop Linux. Although this book does not come with any source code, he illustrates many of his points with code fragments (C, usually with Unix system calls).<p>The first half of <I>Modern Operating Systems</I> focuses on traditional operating systems concepts: processes, deadlocks, memory management, I/O, and file systems. There is nothing ground-breaking in these early chapters, but all topics are well covered, each including sections on current research and a set of student problems. It is the second half of the book that differentiates itself from older operating systems texts. Here, each chapter describes an element of what constitutes a modern operating system--awareness of multimedia applications, multiple processors, computer networks, and a high level of security. The chapter on multimedia functionality focuses on such features as handling massive files and providing video-on-demand. Included in the discussion on multiprocessor platforms are clustered computers and distributed computing. Finally, the importance of security is discussed--a lively enumeration of the scores of ways operating systems can be vulnerable to attack, from password security to computer viruses and Internet worms.<p>Included at the end of the book are case studies of two popular operating systems: Unix/Linux and Windows 2000. There is a bias toward the Unix/Linux approach, not surprising given the author's experience and academic bent, but this bias does not detract from Tanenbaum's analysis. Both operating systems are dissected, describing how each implements processes, file systems, memory management, and other operating system fundamentals.<p>Tanenbau m's mantra is a simple, accessible operating system design. Given that modern operating systems have extensive features, he is forced to reconcile physical size with simplicity. Towards this end, he makes frequent references to the Frederick Brooks classic <I>The Mythical Man Month</I> for wisdom on managing large, complex software development projects. He finds both Windows 2000 and Unix/Linux guilty of being too complicated--with a particular skewering of Windows 2000 and its mammoth Win32 API. A primary culprit is the attempt to make operating systems more user-friendly, which Tanenbaum views as an excuse for bloated code. The solution is to have smart people, the smallest possible team, and well-defined interactions between various operating systems components. Future operating system design will benefit if the advice in this book is taken to heart. <I>--Pete Ostenson</I>

Hungry Minds Inc,U.S. Universal Command Guide for Operating Systems
Networks just aren't homogeneous anymore, despite the best efforts of operating system vendors to bring about the contrary.<I>Universal Command Guide for Operating Systems</I> breaks new ground in the technical book industry by documenting the interfaces--graphical as well as textual--of eight popular operating systems in one (large) volume. It's a great resource for people who have to hop from Red Hat Linux to AIX Unix (among others) frequently, or who want to use their knowledge of one operating system to help them learn another. In table after table and entry after entry, this book explains how almost every operating system you're likely to find in a modern data centre exposes its functions to users and administrators.<p> It's hardly possible to commend the authorial team enough for the empirical research they did in compiling this book (and it's a tabular compilation, not a tutorial or prose volume of any kind). Over three years, they installed all of the covered operating systems on test servers, and used custom software to scan the machines for executable commands. They admit to excluding games, device drivers, and a small number of very obsolete commands from their coverage, but issue (in the preface) a challenge to all readers to find a useful command they haven't included. That kind of warranty is very rare in the technical book industry, and it appears that this book lives up to its authors' boast of true universality.<p> How does the <I>Universal Command Guide</I> work? Say you know Microsoft Windows, and know that MSCDEX.EXE is key to making a CD-ROM drive accessible. What commands are equivalent in other operating systems? A scan of the cross-reference that opens this book (it lists every command available in every covered operating system next to its parallels in other environments) reveals what the Unixes and NetWare use, and that the Macintosh requires no special command for the purpose at all. If you want to know more about a NetWare 4.11 command, you can flip to the chapter on that operating system for complete coverage of syntax and parameters.<p> This is a big, supremely useful book, backed by diligent and extensive research. The only way to make it better would be to cover more operating systems (a couple more Linuxes, HP-UX, and Mac OS X would be nice), but that's a feeble criticism. If you understood the point of this book when you read the title, you'll be pleased. It'll satisfy your expectations. <I>--David Wall</I>
