Exercises
The book gives exercises at the end of each chapter, but does not give the answers to check by. Some of the Exercise questions are so difficult to find answers to.

Excellent!!
I have taken many courses at both undergrad and grad levels and in doing so have come across books that left me wondering. This book in contrast is wonderful! It is excellent at covering the full spectrum of various operating system issues. I doubt I'd pick it up if I were intently interested in Macs, though. It does a good job of addressing UNIX/Solaris issues, JAVA, and of course Intel-based OS's. Was an easy read.

Good First O/S Book
A good introductory O/S book for undergrad/beginning graduate students. Well-designed and straightforward. Good examples of Java code.

The one drawback is a tendency to get rather wordy in some sections and ramble on a bit. Taken as a whole, however, this is a very worthwhile textbook.
