OS10 Textbook

We will use the following textbook for the C3 section of the Operating Systems course for this year: Modern Operating Systems, Inernational Edition, 3/E*, by Andrew S. Tanenbaum, ISBN-10: 0138134596, ISBN-13:9780138134594, Prentice Hall.

Please order your copy as soon as possible at the Campus Bookstore: it is your responsibility to have your own copy of the textbook on the first day of the class. You have to understand that not having your textbook is a significant disadvantage for taking the course which is likely to result in failing the course.
