UNIX Internals: A Practical Approach Book

EBook Description: Provides a clear and detailed description of the internals of the UNIX kernel, the interface between the user and the kernel, and how the kernel interacts with the Intel X86 family of CPUs. Based on the SCO versions of the UNIX and SCO OpenServer Release 5, the text contains many practical examples.

The history of GNU/Linux is actually two separate stories that came together to produce a world-class operating system. Richard Stallman created an organization to build a UNIX-like operating system. He had tools, a compiler, and a variety of applications, but he lacked a kernel. Linus Torvalds had a kernel, but no tools or applications for which to make it useful. Richard Stallman, the father of open source, began the movement in 1983 with a post to the net.unix-wizards Usenet group soliciting help in the development of a free UNIX-compatible operating system [Stallman83]. Stallman�s vision was the development of a free (as in freedom) UNIX-like operating system whose source was open and available to anyone.
