The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Inside Linux : A Look at Operating System Development':
Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
As Bentson says, this book is not a formal treatment of operating systems in
general. Also, while a thorough understanding of operating system concepts
informs and structures the book, there are areas in which some readers will
want further detail. Overall, however, this book is far more readable and
accessible than the vast majority of internals works. This puts it within
reach of the amateur home user or hobbyist with whom Linux is rapidly becoming
popular.
The book covers the user interface, kernel, networking, development tools, and
hardware. Oddly, it is in the basic background that the book sometimes loses
focus and makes odd jumps. The complete text, though, is very well annotated
with both printed and Web site references.
