It's a very good read about OS design and internals -- at least as good as the Unix OS books and loads better than the BSD OS books --

I tend to disagree. The classic BSD 4.3 book wasn't bad, at least in it's original.

That's not a disagreement -- saying something is loads better doesn't mean the other was *bad*. I liked it -- it just wasn't very good prose (compared to the others)... I've seen worse but the annotated code listings (literally) are hardly meant to be meant to be prose -- though some are published into books...

most stuff up through Vista -- even into Win7... though the 6th came out in April of this year), can be had for $2.08: (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/listing/2687470011255 ).

Thanks, but I had looked myself and Barnes & Noble shipping&handling is a bit expensive for Germany. But Amazon Marketplace has the used hard cover for 10 � including s&h.

S&H are a killer... I order stuff from Japan (Anime).. the S&H are often more than the product.... *ouch*.
