[ Article crossposted from ch.general ] [ Author was Andreas Meister ] [ Posted on 23 Apr 1996 08:19:48 GMT ] Hi, ordered it twice and got it twice... (read it once ;-) Brand new book on Unix Internals: Unix Internals, The New Frontiers by Uresh Vahalia (ISBN 0-13-101908-2) This book covers kernel design of the main Unix Varians in use today, as SVR4.x, Solaris/SunOS, Dgital Unix, 4.4BSD, OSF/1 and Mach. It is not as in-depth as 'The Magic Garden Explained' or the black book from Leffer/McKusick et al, but covers as far uncovered topics as synchronisation in multi-cpu architectures and distributed filesystems (nfs, rfs, andrew...). Also there is an interessting chapter about log-based filesystems. ...and about LWP's and threads. This book does not replace the two before mentionned books, but is an excellent complement, especially for SunOS users. Not yet in the shops in Switzerland, I think. Ask sFr 72.- + shipping, offer by mail to one of the BELOW addresses.
