Took this class at MIT. 20/10 would recommend, especially for people who don't come from a systems background. The textbook is quite easy to understand and the labs are a very good check of your comprehension. Just maybe skip the network driver on the first go around :P

Thanks! Do you know if the course is taught online? I couldn't find any lecture recordings on OpenCourseWare. I did find this YouTube playlist about xv6[1], which looks very good, but it's not from MIT.

Took a class at UCI which copied much of the MIT class and dumbed it way down for us. Would recommend
Took the same class at UCI (with Prof Anton Burtsev). Best class I ever took.
