About the Book

Providing an applied introduction to operating system concepts, this text intends to show why they are needed and what, at a functional, black-box level, they do. This edition guides students through some of the world's most widely used operating systems, including Linux, UNIX, and Windows 2000. The text includes material on network operating systems (including client/server networks, Novell and Internet implications). It also contains coverage of architecture, including the Intel Pentium chip, and revised chapters on "Memory and Processor Management", and "MVS/JCL".
