Yes, it will be. You'll need something more basic to start with. While the books you asked about in your initial post will be okay, my suggestion would be [Tanenbaum, "Modern Operating Systems", ISBN 0130313580], which provides more of a theoretical background for OS concepts.
I'd second this recommendation. Tanenbaum's a good author...
an excellent overview on OS concepts. After we had finished the chapter 2 on threads and process, I used this site
to learn about synchornization http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/workshops/workshop/pthreads/MAIN.html#Overview.
Not to mention after finishing each chapter, we used Nachos(http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/tom/nachos/) to build
on the ideas Tanenbaum's talked about. Once I'm done with this book, I think I'll be ready to look at the book by Marshall
Kirk McKusick. I'm in undergrad in my 2nd year in the computer science curriculm, so I was fortunate to have a great professor
to help me along the way.
