  • Welcome to "IST-OPS", where you will learn about Operating Systems through using Linux and programming in C. This course has no formal prerequisites, but we make the assumption that you have taken IST-ASM before this one, and/or that you are familiar with the concepts covered there (if in doubt, ask us).
