CompTIA Authorized Linux+ prep

CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide is your comprehensive study guide for the Linux+ Powered by LPI certification exams. With complete coverage of 100% of the objectives on both exam LX0-103 and exam LX0-104, this study guide provides clear, concise information on all aspects of Linux administration, with a focus on the latest version of the exam. You'll gain the insight of examples drawn from real-world scenarios, with detailed guidance and authoritative coverage of key topics, including GNU and Unix commands, system operation, system administration, system services, security, and more, from a practical perspective that easily translates into on-the-job know-how. You'll also get access to helpful study tools, including bonus practice exams, electronic flashcards, and a searchable glossary of key terms that are important to know for exam day.

Linux is viewed by many companies and organizations as an excellent, low-cost, secure alternative to expensive operating systems such as Microsoft Windows. The CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI exams test a candidate's understanding and familiarity with the Linux Kernel.

Review the basic system architecture, installation, and management
Understand commands, devices, and file systems
Utilize shells, scripting, and data management techniques
Navigate user interfaces, desktops, and essential system services

As the Linux server market share continue to grow, so too does the demand for qualified and certified Linux administrators. Certification holders must recertify every five years, but LPI recommends recertifying every two years to stay fully up to date with new technologies and best practices. CompTIA Linux+ Study Guide gives you the advantage of exam day confidence.

I intentionally purchased for an expired exam.

I am not sitting for the exam, I just wanted to lean Linux better than I currently know.
At about the 10% of the price of the current exam study guide this gives me what I am looking for.
It was listed as used, but I don't think this book was ever opened.

Ok as a refresher for those with previous Linux experience.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

I just took the LX-103 exam this morning, and passed.. but I can't attribute much to this book. Out of 60 questions, at least 15 of them were not covered at all. Luckily I had encountered the tools which were in the questions before, so it wasn't a huge deal - but it definitely would be if you're just cutting your teeth on linux with this book or expecting it to be the definitive guide to passing the exam.
More specifically, without actually going into said questions:
- Which of the most important files under /proc and what they all contain, for instance, where you'd find what options were passed to the kernel from the boot-loader, or find all detected devices on the SCSI subsystem.
- The significance of double and single quotes, and their effects on regular expressions and shell interpretation.
- Basic commands like "file" and "tr", their most common usages, and perhaps intricacies such as effects on the underlying files when manipulated with these tools.
- Some very important situations where you might need to know specific switches for the "rpm" and "dpkg" commands.

The practice exams and flash cards are also wholly inadequate, especially if you are taking this test without a lot of actual Linux admin experience under your belt. It will definitely help you - but I wouldn't buy JUST this book for exam prep.

UPDATE - I have to add another star for all the references to Firefly in the bash scripting chapter.

Good book, it did the trick

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

I used the Kindle version of this book and it was very good. It covered the objectives clearly, and provided good reviews at the end of the chapters. It also breaks the book in two, one major section for each test. e.g. Chapters 1-5 are for LX0-103, 6-10 are for LX0-104.

The best part of the book is access to Sybex's website for their example tests, which provides two example tests. Each are about 50 questions each, many of the questions are very close or the same as the actual tests. Also, when you review the results it provides the "whys" for all answers. e.g. Answer B is incorrect for... Answer A,and D are correct because... The tests are modeled very well to help get the feel for actual test. e.g. Choose two answers..., choose three answers..., choose all that apply... The only part that is bad is that the test is not all multiple choice, some questions are fill in the blank, which I think is much harder.

To prepare for the test I read this book through once, then took the Sybex test twice, then took the test.

After using this book the actual test for LX0-103 took me about 20 minutes to complete, and another 20 to review. I was done in 45 minutes, start to finish. And I passed. On to test 2, LX0-104.

EDIT: Took test two, LX0-104, same result. Test took about 45 minutes totdal from start to finish, passing. Good book, better software. Obtaining this cert also provides LPIC-1 cert, which also provides the Suse cert. Three certs in one. Good luck.

Good Linux book, but not necessarily adequate for test prep

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

I am rating this book only three stars, not because there's anything wrong with it per se, but just regarding its ability to prepare a person to take and pass the LX0-103 and LX0-104 tests (which I took and passed today, in fact, on my first attempt).

But first off, let me cover the good stuff. It is well-written and, as someone with over a dozen years of Unix/Linux experience (including casual sysadmin work), I could find nothing factually wrong with it. The second half of the book, which covered the LX0-104 exam objectives, was definitely on-point relative to the exam I took today.

It's the first half, the LX0-103 preparation portion, that was not really adequate. In a way, it's not the book's fault; the 103 test felt more like a command-line trivia test than a legitimate test of my Linux experience/knowledge, expecting me to be able to fill in the blanks (literally) regarding distribution-specific file names, file locations, and obscure options and switches. And yet, this is a test prep book, meaning that its job was supposed to be to prepare me for the level of specificity that I needed to be able to provide on the test; the relatively simple multiple-choice questions in the book, as well as the practice tests that you can unlock on the Sybex site, hardly approached the level of difficulty that I encountered on the real 103 test, and didn't even hint at the existence of fill-in-the-blank questions. I mean, I did pass the 103 (barely), but it's not as if some of my correct answers didn't come from previous knowledge/experience rather than the book.

It is a good Linux book, and don't take anything I've said to mean otherwise. But I do wish it had worked me a bit harder on the 103 stuff, because (based on the book/website's practice questions) I went into that exam much more confident than I should have been.

Good book, but still a difficult test. Lot of rarely used options to memorize.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

Good book. But the test was still very difficult. I barely passed Part 1 today. The book has tons of information you need, however the test asked about things I had not read in the book. I read the book at least 4-5 times all the way through, and got 100% on all the part 1 practice test questions a few times in a row. then I also had the flashcards memorized and perfect. What makes the test very difficult is that it is not all multiple choice. There are many fill in answers where you just have to think of the command and type it in a box. Without a choice of 4 options, this can become very difficult. I have a brain dump of the stuff I did not know, and you can contact me on my YouTube channel "LastHumansTech" if you are interested in seeing those. Now I will start part 2 study, first by watching videos on VTC.com, and then I will transition to this book to finish my part 2 studies.

Good but not great.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I used this as my main guide, to pass the Linux+ exams. As mentioned by another reviewer, there is quite a lot of the "for full details see the man pages" disclaimer, apart from this the book covers most of the subject matter, but I would recommend using additional sources too. The urban penguin tutorials, on YouTube were particularly beneficial. Good Luck!

Un libro passato

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on January 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

ATTENZIONE: Questo libro è obsoleto per la versione attuale degli esami.
Ottimo per chi vuole iniziare sul serio ad usare Linux e non vuole usare fonti frammentate trovate online. Ciononostante, questo libro serve per prepararsi all'esame Linux+ (LPIC-1) per il quale prepara abbastanza bene. Il libro include moltissimi argomenti fondamentali per un amministratore di sistema Linux, ma include anche molti obiettivi che riguardano tecnologie oramai obsolete e concetti poco utili nelle operazioni day-to-day.
Questo libro vi aiuterà certamente a migliorare le vostre capacità, e vi darà anche accesso a degli "esami di prova" abbastanza utili per chi vuole superare i due esami necessari al raggiungimento della certificazione Linux+.
Il voto basso è dettato dal fatto che alcuni argomenti sono di difficile comprensione ai neofiti, ed al fatto che ci siano molti temi (sia nel libro che nell'esame) che probabilmente non vi troverete mai davanti nella vostra vita.

getting certification or licensing is a good tool to show future employer that you are prepared and serious person. It will bring you lots of ways to open also you are equipped knowledge for this field. and employer does not think of you as new employee and no need to train you as whole. you know this background and well understand due to show off this license. You can say " I am good to go without serious training on me"
employer will be happy to have you and take good way to use your knowledge and willing to pay your desired salary target. because it is a powerful in Computer Science or Engineering field.
