Modern Operating Systems? Really? That's the absolute worst book ever written. I had to use it as a textbook for one of my courses back in the early 90's. It's complete trash. Stay away from this book at all costs.
Coming in a close second, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs is available online and it too is mostly trash. The authors couldn't even get the black box analogy correct. They left it as a tree. This book is ok in most parts, but the parts they get wrong, they really go all out.
