I believe something a little more basic was what is being sought.
In terms of basic OS books, try the one by Deitel on for size; it may or
may not, however, be adequate for what is wanted unix-wise.  Also, the dinosaur
book (which I've not read) by Petersen (?) among others is supposed to be
good (maybe better than Deitel -- it may be more comprehensive).  Again, I am
not certain of its unix coverage.
