The two leading Linux certification bodies, CompTIA and Linux Professional Institute (LPI), have joined forces to release two new Linux+ exams, LX0-101 and LX0-102. This new Sybex study guide breaks down everything you need to prepare for the exams. Covering all exam objectives, the book explains Linux command-line tools, managing software, configuring hardware, managing files and filesystems, and much more. The companion CD features a leading-edge test engine and a host of other study tools, giving you ample opportunity to study, practice, and review.
If you want to prepare for Linux+ certification, a Sybex Study Guide is what you need!
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.
This book was really the only option that I could find for the updated edition of the Linux+ exam. After I bought it I realized that the new Linux+ is the exact same test as the LPIC-1 though, which means that there actually were more options that I realized for study materials. That being said, I think the book is well-written and succinct and do not regret buying it. I used it as well as Skillsoft Skillport to pass the test. One word of caution on the actual test though for candidates: study hard, because there are fill in the blank questions as well as multiple choice, which is not common for a CompTIA exam (I have Network+, A+, Server+, and Security+ as well). I recommend this book, although as with any certification material, I would also advise to have something to supplement it although you would probably be fine without supplementary material as long as you practice hands-on.
I bought this book on Amazon when it came out a few months ago. I have the older Linux+ book (for the previous version of the Linux+ exam) but that version of CompTIA Linux+ is ending as of Oct 31 2010 (it consisted of a single 90 question exam - equiv of 6 months of Linux experience). So I was undecided on what exactly I should do: A.) Push it and take the existing test before Oct 31 2010 or B.) Just take the new Linux+ exam (actually two tests) powered by LPI. Since I had heard that the LPI version is much more comprehensive, I figured I'd go that route. Well let me tell you this book and from what I can surmise the new exam as well, is no joke. This book is way more in-depth and detailed than the previous Linux+ books. It is now recommended by CompTIA that you first achieve your A+ and your Network+ certification, as well as have 1 year of Linux admin level experience before attempting Linux+. If you want a taste of what this study book is like the very first chapter starts out... read more
I bought this because this was the first book released for Linux+ based on the new LPI exam objectives, and was happy to discover that this is an awesome book!!
I'm planning on using this as a classroom book for teaching Linux+.
