A new Virtual Machine provides interactive exercises to help engage students with the material.
OPerating System Concepts - International Edition (India)
The book is great and very thorough, recommended read for sure.
So all the best to authors for quality content, really appreciated!
Huge remark I have is about quality of paper on which book is printed - it is terrible! Paper is so thin that text from back page is clearly visible while you read it on front page! This distracts reading and concentration! So this 2 star mark instead of 5 star is just because of terrible quality of paper on which it is printed!
I lost my original copy and needed a quick and inexpensive replacement. This is a great value. It should be noted, the page numbers are off and some minor content is omitted. The pages might be a little thin, but this makes the book lighter.
