Review :
"Chapter content is covered in a balanced manner; writing style is clear and structured for easy comprehension." "This textbook is an excellent introduction to operating systems in addition to a fundamental networking course. Students that may be preparing for different certification exams (Microsoft Windows 7, Vista or XP for example, or Linux+) might find this book an exceptional introduction to the similarities and differences to the varying operating systems. I love the idea of having hands on projects and end of chapter case projects. It is important for students to know and know how, but also how to show and do! Integrating authentic activities into the book is excellent practice for future IT practitioners."
