 Helped me pass the testDec 04, 2010
By T. J. Funk
"Forlorn Idealist"
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.

 This book is no joke..Oct 06, 2010
By J. Monty
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 with listing commands and explaining regular expressions. I've been working with Linux for some time so this was not a problem for me but if you haven't used Linux before you might want to brush up on your basics before you consider this one... The older books started out explaining what Linux was and what GNU licensing was about, etc (intro type stuff).
I have not taken the exams yet but I will report on how well I do after..

VERY cool Linux+ resource! For the new LPI-based Linux+ exams!Nov 02, 2010
By Adam Freden
"Cool IT guy"
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+.

Excellent for exam guide, but not for learningMar 16, 2011
By Kathy "compgirl"
Passing the exam and learning Linux are two different tasks. This is very good book for passing exams. It is technically accurate, offers examples of actual exams and simulates many exam question. It provides pre-exam drilling and it covers many high points (may be, little too many). That is a good thing. In a same time, because of size and scope of this volume, this book doesn't explain many of important linux concepts. In short, it is not a book for a beginner to grow with. It is a helper book for someone who knows much of Linux already and needs some structure to arrange his/her knowledge for the test. If one needs initial Linux training, I had a good experience with Learn Linux Systems for a Beginner Video Training and Two Certification Exams Bundle, Fedora Edition. 5-disk DVD Set, Ed.2011
This is great book for memory refreshing before job interviews. In few quick glances you can go over many important subjects and remind to yourself various commands. I must praise the author for this book to be so accurate. I read more than one book on Linux and many of them have countless typos, omissions etc. This book is reliable in this respect. As an exam guide this book excels.

 Ya right.May 16, 2011
By Chuck Dickey
Got this book to self study for the Linux+ exams. I have been using Linux at home and work for several years. I use Ubuntu as my primary OS at home, though I admittedly don't do much at the command line unless necessary.
I read this book and did the chapter questions at the end of the first 5 chapters to prepare for the exam. Used the CD to go through all of the sample questions and was managing everything no problem after proper study.
Took the LX0-101 test today, (May 16 2011) and absolutely bombed it.
The scoring range is from 200 to 800. I scored a 280. This is laughable. I felt like I had seen maybe two or three of the questions in the prep leading up to this test. It was not all multiple guess, several were fill in the blank and I was absolutely floored at how unprepared I was. I think the content is in the book to prepare for the test, but the test is not represented by the chapter questions nor the additional questions provided on the CD.
I have over 12 certifications under my belt and I have never done as bad as this on any of them.
