Supposedly a unit on operating systems, but has been found to be somewhat lacking in content.

This serves as many student's introduction to the C programming language. It unfortunately does not serve as their introduction into the debugging tools that would make it otherwise bearable.
Before CSSE borged the IT Engineering course in 2001, EE taught a far better Operating Systems course that involved hacking on ["Minix"].
Has been taught by ChrisMcDonald and LyndonWhile.
Textbook is by WilliamStallings (who also writes a ComputerArchitecture book), it is of passable quality, but he's certainly no AndrewTannenbaum.
