Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Flynn/McIver-McHoes provides a very basic introduction to the theory and application of operating systems. The book is intended for readers who will become information managers or MIS professionals, and who need a basic understanding of operating systems theory, a survey of the major operating systems in use, and a grasp of the technical and operational tradeoffs among them. This book in its Second Edition remains the only single resource available that combines an overview of operating systems concepts and a survey of major commercial operating systems into one concise volume.
