- Jd 19y agoBrowsed through the wiki article, but it is difficult to find (anywhere?) structured comparisons of OS design philosophies.
- jey 19y agoIf you want a good discussion on OS design, get Andrew Tanenbaum's book "Operating Systems: Design and Implementation". He's the MINIX guy, and that book is pretty much the de facto standard text on operating systems. It's expensive, so see if you can find an international edition. I picked mine up for the equivalent of USD $10 in India.
