Hi Folks,

	IMHO if you want a good general book on OS's that are 
"unix like" then get "Operating System Design:  The Xinu Approach" 
by Douglas E. Comer from Prentice Hall.

	My OS class used it and I enjoyed it enough that I just
read it liek a novel.  I have found all of Mr. Comer's books to be
of similar quality and always recommend them when I can.

	In the case of more specific "design" type books then the 4.3 book 
from McKusick, Karels, Leffler and Quaterman is excelent as is the System
V book from Bach.

				Later,
				George
