There are several. The best of all is Kirk M. McKusick & comp: Design And Implementation of 4.3 BSD. Yes, it's right, it's 4.3, not 4.4, because the latter is too detailed and not as well written as the 4.3 book. Uresh Vahalia: Unix Internals, The New Frontier. David Rusling: The Linux Kernel (E-book, a little bit old, but still great http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html) Maurice Bach: Design of the Unix OS Andrew Tannenbaum: Modern Operating System Harvey Deitel: An Introduction to Operating Systems (1990 edition, I haven't seen the 2003 one) Bruce Ellis: Hitchiker's Guide to VMS (Excellent book!!!) Nicklaus Wirth: Data Structures + Algorithms = Programs (This is an ancient book, but was a great introduction to B-trees. People are always fond of their college books) Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie: Do I really need to specify the title of this one? ANSI edition is great.
