Sure:
Uresh Vahalia - Unix Internals, The New Frontiers. Prentice Hall, 1996 ISBN 0-13-101908-2
601pp.
In a word, this book is encyclopaedic! It's a painstakingly documented internal analysis of design choices and tradeoffs, using a handful of commercial and academic Unices as case studies. He covers absolutely every major topic of interest to kernel hackers. The writing is quite even-handed and shows no apparent favoritism towards any one philosophy.
Finally, no, it does not mention Linux :-(. Still worth having. You'd have to pry my copy out of my cold, dead hands.
Steve
