SynopsisAppropriate for introductory courses on computer operating systems. This book offers a unique and carefully integrated combination of principles and practice. While the usual principles are covered in detail, the book also describes a small, but real UNIX-like operating system: MINIX. It shows how it works and illustrates the principles behind it. By using MINIX, students learn principles and then can apply them in hands-on system design projects., This is a practical manual on operating systems, which describes a small UNIX-like operating system, demonstrating how it works and illustrating the principles underlying it. The relevant sections of the MINIX source code are described in detail, and the book has been revised to include updates in MINIX, which initially started as a v7 unix clone for a floppy-disk only 8088. It is now aimed at 386, 486 and pentium machines, and is based on the international posix standard instead of on v7. Versions of MINIX are now also available for the Macintosh and SPARC.

Great for osdev, microkernel style
A great book for anyone thinking about writing an operating system. One thing with Minix that I am curious about, is how do different state for processes being handled with different servers. Such as the file server, how does it have access to process state that concerns reading files? In Minix parts of a process is held within the file server for reading and writing files. Also Linus Thorwalds did study Minix where he went to write Linux. Which I find interesting. I think he studied version 1 of Minix. Minix stands for Mini Unix. Although i'm interested in an more OS/2-alike system (OsFree).Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
