i second this - it is extremely complete, so far as a 1 hour scan could
tell, v. well written and excellent value - i wish there could be an
equivalent text for kernel hackery for bsd, svid and, say, mach. then
lots of people could stop paying out megabucks to go on commercial
courses...

the structure is very similar to a course i teach on comms. software,
and i think i'm gonna recommend it as a base text....
