### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Invaluable for a Student of Operating Systems
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019*

You can read all the textbooks you want (and there are some pretty good ones out their like the terse one by Lister and the more expansive one by Tannenbaum) but there is not substitute for reading code. The two advantages of Version 6 are (1) it is small enough to be fully read and comprehended as a whole, (2) the code quality is first rate, and (3) the code was not written by a vast community but by a pair of outstanding computer scientists and therefor is stylistically and philosophically consistent. [OK, off by one error, so what?] What is fantastic about this package though is that Lions' commentary saves the reader so much time by making the code rapidly understandable. Naturally there is no "royal road" to 10,000 lines of code, and this does involve significant work. But it is so worth it. Even though it's now 50 years old.

    Highly recommended
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2016*

I sincerely wish I'd had a copy of Lions' commentary on UNIX when I was at college. Not only is it a thorough and fascinating commentary on a very important codebase, but it is also littered with valuable insight into the effective construction of a substantial, significant, but not overwhelming codebase.While the UNIX/Linux codebase has moved on significantly, even today, Linos' work is is a fascinating read and, in many ways, more interesting and entertaining to read than Tannenbaum's Minix textbook.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Only quibble is with the stupid non-li-flat binding
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2018*

Only quibble is with the stupid non-li-flat binding, and the 'sideways' printing format.Otherwise, a worthwhile historical artifact and a large, tasty breadcrumb along the Unix-Fu GrokTrail :-)
