Hi All,

Way back in university, we briefly covered the innards of Unix in our 
operating systems subject.  While we didn't spend a great deal of time 
on Unix's internal workings, we did have Marice Bach's 'Design of the 
Unix Operating System' set as a recommended text.

I skimmed it a while ago, and although it was very interesting, I heard 
from a number of people that they thought the concepts covered in the 
book were somewhat dated.

I'm after a book which will give me a pretty decent understanding of the 
internals of a modern Unix operating system (short of reading the actual 
source code, of course).  Will Bach cut the mustard or do people have 
their favourite books on this topic that they'd like to recommend?

-regards,

Ben.
