Guys,
Does the 1994 publish date render any of the material stale, vis-a-vis
current
architectures (e.g., P4 XEON, PCI-X / fast FSB), and the latest-n-greatest
from
the BSD and Linux camps?
Thanks.

This, along with Valhelia's Unix Internals, is probably the best book on
the Unix kernel I have ever read.
As Seth just pointed out, however, this book is NOT for beginners. I
would read an introductory OS book (Modern Operating Systems and/or The
Design and Implementation of Operating Systems, both by A. Tannenbaum)
and then an easier book on the Linux kernel, like Linux Device Drivers,
before even thinking of reading Schimmel's.
Good luck and happy hacking.
