2.0 out of 5 stars
A zillion errors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux+ All-in-One Exam Guide (Hardcover)
While there is a lot of content there are literally hundreds of errors in this book. Everthing from words spelled incorrectly, to wrong file names used to incorrect explanations of regular expressions. There are multiple pages repeated (93-96 is almost verbatim to 97-100)!! It looks to me like it was put together in a couple weeks with little to no review.

1.0 out of 5 stars
This has to be a mistake...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Linux+ All-in-One Exam Guide (Hardcover)
There is no way anyone associated with this book could know what Linux is, let alone work with the operating system or take the test. When I say "anyone", I mean "anyone" - not the writer, the editor (who obviously used time that should have been devoted to this project to look for other work), tech editor, etc. PLEASE look for another title....

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Linux+ All-in-One Exam Guide (Hardcover)
This is the only book I used to get my Linux+ certification and it was great. I still have after these many years as a foundation for Linux/Unix.
