4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but out-of-date, December 13, 2008

By	Kyle Winkler (Orem, Ut USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

They updated the test for Hardy (8.04) after this book came out, so make sure you get the new curriculum from [...] so you can know what parts of the book to ignore and what parts you need to supplement (its not too much). There are also some errors. It is nevertheless a great resource and helped me pass the test. I recommend it to anyone wanting a deeper knowledge of Linux/Ubuntu, as well as those studying for the UCP exam.

2.0 out of 5 stars Book ok - CD abysmal, October 27, 2009

By	Resnik Chris - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this book after seeing it a store. Unfortunately I didn't buy it then and until I made up my mind it was gone. So I had to order it here.
The structure and the content of the book is good and should be enough material (together with the curriculum) to pass the test.
The CD however is nothing but a feeble joke. I'm already using a PC with Ubuntu installed and I thought the mock exam included in the CD would run on Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) but it's all Windows :-( Hello? Do all the books about WinXP, Vista, Win7 come with *nix binaries on the CDs?
Really disappointed with the publisher... (McGraw Hill)
