Review

...is an informative and well-written guide... It is an excellent preparation tool and also a superb Linux reference. -- SysAdmin Journal, November 2001

From the Author

If you're looking for a good book to help you with the Sair Installation and Configuration Exam, this book covers just the information that you need to learn and understand every topic on the 3X0-101 exam.

This book includes about 175 review questions. As the author, I've tried to make most of the questions a little bit more difficult than those that you would see on the acutal exam.

I'd appreciate your condsideration.

This book is awesome! I have read the other SAIR Linux Certification test books, but none of them truly let you understand what you're doing like this book, along with a practice test on the end of each chapter, this book really makes sure you understand your stuff! I reccommend this book for novices to the 'LeEt Linux haxor'z.

This review is from: Sair Linux/GNU Installation and Configuration Exam Cram (Exam: 3X0-101) (Paperback)

The exam cram books in general are a great series! I used them to help me study for my MCSE tests. With the help of these books, I passed each test on the first try!

So when I was going to go for my Sair Linux certification, I used the Exam Cram book. This book was great and helped me prepare for the test. The book covered the main topics in more depth than the test requires and the practice test was more difficult than the real thing. If you understand the information given to you in this book, you have a good chance of passing the test. You need a 74% or better to pass.the exam. I was surprised to find out I got 92% on my first try, because I am new to Linux (less than 6 months). This book was a major factor in me passing the exam!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book Fulfilled all my expectation, August 18, 2001

This review is from: Sair Linux/GNU Installation and Configuration Exam Cram (Exam: 3X0-101) (Paperback)

This book covered, almost 100 percent of the subjects I encountered on the test. I did the hour long test in about 30 minutes and passed it with points to spare, using this book as my sole study material. Admittedly I've been doing Unix System Admin for a couple of years, but this is the least UNIX like of all the Linux tests. It focuses mostly on Linux specific components lilo, boot order, disaster recoery etc. This book covered it all. The quiz questions can be a little infuriating (tricky), but you calm down when you realize how much they force you to concentrate on the subject matter. Buy it and study it and you'll pass the test.
