Would HN-commenters recommend this (based off of experience with either edition) over other OS books for a self-teaching CS Curriculum?

Do you agree that picking one OS to study is the best way to learn about Operating Systems generally?

Wow! Thank you.

I've read many theory and hands-on OS books and this book (the 1st Ed) is my favorite. But it is a dense book! Quite awesomely dense to be honest. One OS to study will certainly help (it helped me) to fully understand why the theory can be useful. This book especially can help make the connection between theory and practice.

I'll check it out, thanks. It might come in handy after I read a couple other books.
