   I was lucky enough to take Remzi's OS course. Both he and his wife are excellent teachers, and really truly caring people. I haven't kept up with him since school, but he was the best professor I had and it wasn't close.

2. Recommendsdhuramas2018in “Brushing up on operating systems and C programming”

   http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ is really good and approachable. It was even recommended in one of the Gatech OS courses.
