Hi Gregory,

The one which I know and really like personally is OS by Prof Remzi
Arpaci-Dusseau at University of wisconsin. The reference material the book
written by the Prof. himself is available on his website for free download.
His webpage is pages.cs.wisc.edu/~*remzi*/. They use the xv6 operating
system (unix like) link http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012/xv6.html
developed at MIT.
