1.0 out of 5 stars
Earlier book not the same,
By Jim. Daneke (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: LPIC-1: Linux Professional Institute Certification Study Guide: (Exams 101 and 102) (Paperback)
I find the reports from the earlier posters to be based on the test that existed before April 1, 2009. The current version of this book is said to be based on this newer test.
I found the book to be severely substandard in preparing for this new test. As the previous poster said, the sample questions are not even in the same league with the questions on the test. I rate this book as a complete waste of money if you are planning on taking the LPIC-1 tests.

This is a fantastic book to prepare before taking LPIC-1. Clear, consistent language with good examples covers all objectives. Really fast and good reference to the subject. I honestly can recommend this book to everybody who thinks about taking LPIC-1.
Good job Mr. Roderick W. Smith ;) Thank you.

Juicy Content Rich,
By Jesse B. (Deltona, Florida USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: LPIC-1: Linux Professional Institute Certification Study Guide: (Exams 101 and 102) (Paperback)
I thought this book would be a quick read, LOL my mistake! I'm happy about it though, it covers TONS of stuff. I've only been using a Linux OS for a few months, my primary use is on web servers (SSH). So I figured I better start getting smart and study this over the course of a year, possibly a bit more, and perhaps I'll be able to pass an exam eventually :P Lot of stuff, Lot of stuff, good purchase.
My only complaint is that the page paper pages feel cheap, kind of absorable and easy to tear, almost newspaper-ish, and a dull grayish color. So highlighting things will be scary, it might go through a few pages, I hope not!
