Ok... I want to buy a book, but I don't know wich one is the best...
I'd like to buy something like "Operating Systems: Design And Implementation" from Tanenbaum, witch explains MINIX too.
Do you have better sugestions? Because these days I want to order a book.
Thanks...
What book should I read?

RE:What book should I read?
An _excellent_ idea! More ppl should follow your idea, I think 
I, personally, have read anything from Tanenbaum, but I've been told they're excellent books (I'm under the impression he's written a few).
My single most, couldn't live without-it book was "Protected Mode Software Architecture" by Tom Shanley, Mindshare Inc, 0-201-55447-X
A good book on assembly (the blue book that came with my Tasm, way-back-when, is always by my side as a reference, Dunteman's book is great to learn from) and a good book describing x86 hardware are essential as well (The indispensible PC Hardware Book, for one).
Cheers,
Jeff

RE:What book should I read?
I'd have to second the recommendation for "Protected Mode Software Architecture". Mine actually has pages that are falling out for being flipped through so often.
Just a list of books I have:
Protected Mode Software Architecture
The Undocumented PC
The Indispensable PC Hardware Book
The personal Computer from the Inside Out
I think those are my favs, other books I have:
Master Class Assembly Language
PCI System Architecture
Programming Solutions Handbook for IBM Microcomputers (out of print)
Operating System Concepts (old and new versions)
Plug and Play System Architecture
The SCSI Bus & IDE Interface
POSIX programmers guide
MMURTL (in pdf)
The Magic Garden Explained (out of print)
Solaris Internals
The C programming language
Cardbus System Architecture
I've even got the May 1994 edition of Dr. Dobb's Journal (magizine) on Designing and Using Microkernels and Operating Systems.
Do download copies of "The Art of Assembly" (old version) if you need an asm ref and get the Intel 3 volume developers manuals. There's a program called HELPPC that comes in handy too.
Anybody got any other good books that I missed?
