OS Books suggestion

[Ezequiel García]

I am looking for some biblographic material for OS learning (mostly for linux). I've read Linux Device Drivers, and I am interested in these:

* The design of unix operating system (Bach)

* Modern operative systems (Tanenbaum)

* Operating Systems design and implementation(Tanenbaum)

I haven't done formal Computer Science studies, and I don't the time to read the three of them, but as I am working very close to the linux kernel, I am trying to sharp my skills a little. 

All books seem very well rated, and the first one is a real classic. I would like to have further suggestions so I can decide myself better.

Thanks.
Ezequiel.

I am currently reading it.

Also waiting anxiously for LDD 4 ! That is the book that got me started :D

Another excellent (and more updated) book about Linux device drivers is:

Essential Linux Device Drivers (http://amzn.to/bvELFI).

Is a good complement to LDD3 because it explains how drivers are
implemented for real devices instead of virtual ones.

I would further suggest:
  * kernel area: Linux Kernel Development [1]
  * OS area: Operating Systems Concepts [2]
  * systems area: The Linux Programming Interface [3]

Anyhow, while reading books it's ok in the beginning
to really have a progress in your learning progress
you should start looking at the code.


thanks,
Daniel.

Have you had a look over here [1], though it is a bit outdated, it have
enough information to kickstart linux kernel, after that move on to
Understanding series from various authors. I highly recommend spending time
with Modern OS by AST inorder to get good idea on operating systems in
general.

I appreciate all the answers. But actually I was just looking for a review on the three books I asked for.

Thanks anyway.

Hello,
Some time ago I had the same question, because just like you I do not have
formal Computer Science studies but I work with the linux kernel,  after
reading a lot I reach the conclusion that is really necessary to have
knowledge about the operating systems, the architectures, the formal
concepts and definitions, to this goal in my personal opinion the best
choice is  Modern operating systems (Tanenbaum), the last edition is very
easy to understand and have a lot of examples regarding the linux kernel.
You don't need to read the whole book, you can read only the basic subjects,
at least for now,in the beginning of the book have some tips of how to do
this, the rest of the book you can read as soon as you feel necessary. After
this basic, to learn how all this theory is applied in real world you can
read Robert love Linux kernel development, to understand the linux kernel
you really need to read this book, but there's no use if you do not have the
basic knowledge that I told before. there's another choices but if this book
is not the best it is among the bests.
