Does anyone know of a good/free/online Operating Systems course

dmoore44

As the subject says, I'm looking for a free, online course dealing with operating systems. I took a class dealing with OSes for my undergrad, but I would like to go back and re-visit some of the material. I've checked Coursera, Udacity, iTunesU, edX, and Academic Earth... but have come up short... I'm kind of hoping that someone here might know of some other source...

Thanks!

Just didn't look hard enough: Computer Science 162 - Lecture 1 - YouTube

Not sure about the "good" part, but it's free and online: CS401: Operating Systems « Saylor.org – Free Online Courses Built by Professors

I say not sure because I haven't taken any Saylor courses, but it looks pretty well put together.

You might also do some Googling and see who some of the pre-eminent researchers/professors are in Operating Systems. Many CS profs put their syllabi, slides/notes, handouts, homework, and (sometimes) homework solutions online.

A good place to start are the colleges/universities with top CS programs, like MIT, Berkely, U of Washington, U of Maryland, etc. It's not always packaged/consolidated conveniently, but there's a lot of fantastic material there if you're willing to dig a bit.
