Revised to address the latest version of MINIX (MINIX 3), this streamlined,
simplified new edition remains the only operating systems text to first
explain relevant principles, then demonstrate their applications using a
Unix-like operating system as a detailed example. It has been especially
designed for high reliability, for use in embedded systems, and for ease of
teaching.
