J.G.Reviewed in the United States on 23 August 20064.0 out of 5 stars Very informative but geared towards Red Hat.
This book was very informative but there were too many references to Red Hat. A book like this, I feel, should be well rounded and give examples of other distro's as well. I used this book in a study group with very knowledgeable people and many years of experience. At times it would be mentioned that they learned some new things from the reading material which surprised me! All in all, it's a good book to get started in the Linux realm and you won't be disappointed.
TLAW_DBAReviewed in the United States on 6 July 20065.0 out of 5 stars Good book for the Linux+ Exam
This book is well-written. I did not have a problem reading this book since I had some UNIX (HP-UX and Sun Solaris) background. Topics are clearly explained and easy to understand. Chapter 9 on "Boot Loaders" was a huge help for me. In chapter 9 the author covers well dual booting with windows and Linux.
My only complain about the book is its lack of a comprehensive final exam. The author could have made an effort to provide at least one final exam. To take advantage of this book I do recommend to install a version of Fedora Core or Red Hat AS/EL. Overall I recommend the book and I give 5 stars
Antonio FerreiraReviewed in the United States on 20 January 20083.0 out of 5 stars Not enough to pass the test
Read the book entirely, reviewed, and learned all the information. There was an abundance of questions on the Linux+ exam that were not mentioned in this book. All the questions that were covered in this book I got right in the exam and still didn't pass. One question that came up in the exam was " How do you finish off a while statement" and nowhere in this book gives an example of a while statement. I happen to know now that the answer is "done" thanks to another book. That is only one example of many. Other than that, I do believe this book is well written and has resourceful information.
JaazaReviewed in the United States on 25 November 20142.0 out of 5 stars The exam is now LPIC.
I rushed through studying this book, taking notes as I read. Among other setbacks, since the exam was already changed to the lpic-1 I felt lost and didn't feel confident taking the lpic-1. Also, www.examcollection.com stopped giving out free practice exams they now want you to buy them program that maps to their current practice exams. I had to find another place to get my practice exams for free. Alas, I found it. Since then I've bought the "lpic-1 in depth" but haven't been studying it.
Amazon CustomerReviewed in the United States on 9 March 20074.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful material.
This was a very helpful and well written study guide for the latest Linux+ exam. I took the test and passed, although I wouldn't make this the only study material unless you are already very proficient at Linux CLI. I have about 2 years of informal Linux experience so I also used a UCertify test kit to help me study beyond this book. Overall, highly recommend as part of your preparation program.
