Cohn) Organization: Univ. of Notre Dame Lines: 5 Can anyone explain why Prentice-Hall recommends using Version 1.3 for an introductory OS class rather than 1.5? Is it just that 1.3 is closer to the version in the text? How hard is it to use 1.5 with the text? Also, what are the disadvantages of 1.3? Does it support protected mode?
