The best book I've read for getting practical experience on operating system
design and implementation is Operating System Design: the XINU approach, by
Douglas Comer.

The book is available in several flavors, including the original book for
the relatively obscure LSI/11, and versions for the PC and for the Mac.

For extensions, there is a book Internetworking with XINU that has much
information on ethernets and IP.  Dr. Comer has also written books on
TCP/IP that work well with XINU.


I get the impression that Minix is more well-known than XINU, but XINU
is a very viable alternative- at least take a look at it.

(The books are published by Prentice Hall, and I think that source code
 for at least some versions are available from Purdue.  Check out the
 newsgroup comp.os.xinu for more info.)
