Title: Good Book for Reference Only
Review: I had to purchase this book for a college course on Operating Systems. Save yourself the $ if you looking at purchasing a guide to Operating Sytems - there are better books on the market. But if you HAVE to purchase this book for college or university course, then use it like a reference. It is like reading a dictionary and will put you to sleep. The subject material is not well written, and is too vague, however if you have no prior experience with operating systems you might find it some what helpful as a guide on how to install Microsoft products, like Windows. It also covers Unix and Red Hat Linux Version 7.2, although very few pages are covered.The authors have written this book like a a manual or technical guide to certain aspects of Operating Sytems. Do not attempt to read this book cover to cover, but only pull out the information that is relevant to you.
