Sysop (Dayton, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Linux+ 2005 In Depth (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for the Linux+ Exam, July 5, 2006

TLAW_DBA "OCP Oracle 6i/9i/10g, SCSA Solaris ... (Montreal, QC Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Linux+ 2005 In Depth (Paperback)

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

This review is from: Linux+ 2005 In Depth (Paperback)

Truthfully, I found this book to be a little bit... off... It has good information in it, but many of the review questions were a bit obscure... I would buy this book for the content only. Make sure you have another prep book like the Sybex book to contrast with before you go test...
