Free Linux System Programming: Talking Directly to the Kernel and C Library
this book covers a lot of ground with an approachable narrative style.
As a casual programmer and Linux user I was surprised by how enlightening the information was just to understand how Linux works. Covers io, process and memory management, and some other details.
Probably not ideal for novices. Some knowledge of c and processor concepts is required to get the most from the text. Overall very good read I'd recommend to any links user or software developer.

This is well balanced book which explains linux system itself and gives some code snippets.
The author has deep knowledge on linux system and relative topics which would help you broaden understading of LINUX, UNIX and BSD.
(In this book, he takes some historical comments for BSD.)
This has manuals for the system functions and many code examples.
I also recommend his another book,
Linux Kernel Development (3rd Edition)Have a good time with this system book~!
