Not a Bad book - for Novices

Very easy to read, very helpful in its layout. I've learned quite a bit about the basics of my Linux setup. Now its a matter of boning up towards taking the test. However, this makes an excellent introduction to the Linux Operating System on a basic level. Well worth the money spent on it and the time reading it.

All in one is correct.

CompTia has put out a new exam for the Linux community called Linux+ and looking at the exam objectives it has to be vendor neutral. Then Osborne release a Linux+ All in One Exam Guide and this book should make it easier to pass the exam.Over 600 pages makes up the book and it all begins with the Linux File system, which is the first book to start here. Then you will go over the various directories, utilities and the kernel itself. From there the install process is broken down covering NFS, NNB, TCP/IP, XWindows and XDM.Moving to the configuration with coverage of scripts, logic, loops, LILO, net config and Linux configuration utilities. Then your are off to administration with creation of users, groups and permissions. From there maintenance is the next area covered included are patches, pickups and troubleshooting.There is coverage of hardware including power supplies, motherboards, hard drives, floppy drives and scsi, although this section could have been expanded. Each chapter has questions and answers and there is a 12 page section covering the Linux commands. Finally the cd included has practice exams to help you before going live.
