I should have mentioned in my initial email that I taught a section of
CEG 2350 (Operating Systems Concepts; a required 3-credit version of the
course you describe along) at Wright State with some extras (Python
scripting for Linux and PowerShell for Windows).  The Sobell book was
listed as an optional text for the course, though I strongly recommended
to my students that weren't already familiar with Linux to get and go
through the book.

In terms of covering a wide variety of topics at a novice level, I think
it does a good job.
