I’ve been looking into contemporary textbooks on operating systems and found this free, online text.  The authors now teach at Duke and are gracious to make their book free.  Kudos to the Arpaci-Dusseau team!

From their web page…

Welcome to Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces (now version 0.6 — see BOOK NEWS for details), a free online (and available for purchase in printed form) operating systems book! The book is centered around three conceptual pieces that are fundamental to operating systems: virtualization, concurrency, and persistence. In understanding the conceptual, you will also learn the practical, including how an operating system does things like schedule the CPU, manage memory, and store files persistently. Lots of fun stuff!
