Negative Positive
Title: Historically Significant, Simply Complex
Review: The operating system for this book, Minix, is the ancestor to the now wildly popular linux. The idea behind this book is incredible, step through some of the most important areas of Operating Systems using an open source OS which was intentionally kept very simple.Rather than a survey of all the capabilities of operating systems which we see in many other books, this book focuses in on five of the core concepts. It discusses design tradeoffs involved in selecting an implementation for any one area of an operating system and is a very respectable book from the man who wrote the Operating System in question. A Good book if you are interested in the deeper concepts of OS.
