It consists of a series of articles in GNU/Linux Magazine France that has been going on for many months. The articles are very detailed and provide all the necessary knowledge. These articles are about the Simple Operating System (SOS) (http://sos.enix.org). I would like to recommend GNU/Linux Magazine France because of an unrelated series of articles teaching Ada; the September 2005 issue contains the fifth article in the series, about records. -- Ludovic Brenta.
