5.0 out of 5 stars excellent Linux certification resource
Great resource outlines the requirements and benefits of the different Linux certification providers (including some newcomers too!). A nice table in the back organizes the information- just what I needed to decide how to beef-up my resume! Thanks!

1.0 out of 5 stars Started well, but lost focus, April 3, 2000
By 
This review is from: Get Linux Certified and Get Ahead (Paperback)
The book started well -- FAQ on why certification for Linux is a good thing; introduced the different type of Cert. by different distribution vendors.

However, the book lost focus from Part two onwards. This should not be an adult education book, the assumption was a big turn-off. This is not a study guide either -- the whole chapter on study secrets read likes a "copy and paste" out of a second rated study-tips website. Speed reading, mnemonics and mind map have little, if at all, benefits helping anyone passing technical certifications.

Subjects such as asking for a pay rise after certification, moving up, job hunting .... are better left with other books.

Pros: the References at the back are useful. Cut the size of the book in half, focus on only the essentials, then it may earn another point.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is about twice the size it needs to be., October 20, 2000

Peter Allen (Adelaide South Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Get Linux Certified and Get Ahead (Paperback)
I bought this book to get info on the various Linux certifications that are available... I NEEDED that information right now, and the book delivered - Particularly by using the companion website... but this book could have been half the size ( and presumably, half the price) the information of exam cramming techniqies etc is avaialble elsewhere and quite unnecessary.

I suspect that this book will date quite rapidly... its a read once and give to a library type book... you wont refer to it again...

3.0 out of 5 stars Linus vs. Windows, February 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Get Linux Certified and Get Ahead (Paperback)
Surprised to have gotten this book so cheaply !

I suppose amazon does not permit bogus sales for 1$ !

Linux is a necessary things for when programmers are limited with Windows that is for mainly the common user !

Have not read yet, just put it in my library !

George.
