Linux with Operating System Concepts, Second Edition is a comprehensive textbook that merges the conceptual operating system and Unix/Linux topics into one cohesive book. It is ideally suited for undergraduate students who are taking a one- or two-semester course on Linux or Unix. The book contains review sections, problems, definitions, and concepts, as well as relevant introductory material, such as binary and Boolean logic, OS kernels, and the role of the CPU and memory hierarchy.

From a user perspective, Linux with Operating System Concepts, Second Edition emphasizes command-line interaction, whereas from a system administrator perspective, the book reinforces shell scripting with examples of administration scripts that support the automation of administrator tasks. The author covers Linux from both the user and system administrator positions.

The author has incorporated OS concepts that are beyond what is usually found in most Linux/Unix textbooks. These concepts include kernels, file systems, storage devices, virtual memory, and process management. In addition to these, the author introduces computer science topics such as computer networks and TCP/IP, interpreters versus compilers, file compression, file system integrity through backups, RAID, encryption technologies, booting, and the GNU C compiler.

In this second edition, the author has updated the book to systemd Linux, and more modern services like Cockpit, NetworkManager, firewalld, and journald. The book covers Debian distributions to provide complete coverage of Linux beyond CentOS/Red Hat. The content across most topics has been updated and improved.

Linux with Operating System Concepts, Second Edition is an excellent resource for students, instructors, and anyone who is interested in learning more about Linux with Operating System Concepts.
