Comment on Ask HN: Learning Linux from Scratch

Comments

The Design of the Unix Operating System by Maurice Bach is readable and provides a very good high level overview that overlaps Linux.

Operating Systems, Three Easy Pieces is a reasonable book about operating systems in general.

If you are going to run Linux, I recommend Ubuntu as the easy path. There are good arguments for other distros. But you probably don’t need an argument.
