An undergraduate introduction to operating systems at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, covering processes, concurrency, memory management, file systems, and related topics. The course lectures are not tied to a specific system, though its projects use the xv6 teaching OS.

A commenter calls the lecture notes excellent and free, and notes the lectures are not specific to xv6 even though the projects are.
