   I bought it, and I think it's a pretty good introduction.  I needed to
do some light kernel hacking, and found it a very helpful overview of the 
areas I was working on.  It contains general information on data structures
and algorithms in System V and some other, and some intro to new Release 3
features.

   I don't know Comer's book, so I can't compare the two.
