Customer Reviews

This book is perfect if you have some Linux experience!

I used this book as my only study guide for the exam and passed easily. I had several years experience running Linux at home so I needed only a quick refresher for the exam.

Read this book, practice what you see, and you'll pass

This book was great! It covered most of the topics that I saw on the exam. While it didn't cover the questions like a braindump, no book does that anymore. I studied this book for a week, and made sure I understood all of the topics covered by each question and each of the answers. I got an 805 (out of 900) on the exam, and most of it was because of what was covered in the book. But don't just memorize the questions and the answers. Practice what you see in this book on a real Linux computer.

Effective, understandable, and enjoyable!

I am not an avid reader, even for certifications. I hardly read books, usually skim them over briefly, and do practice tests. This is the first book I have read cover to cover. The problem with most certification books is a) length, b) boring. Michael appears to have taken both of these into account, making the book around 300 pages, and very easy to read. I was able to sit down and read 50-60 pages at a time with ease. None of the chapters were too confusing, or too long. They all fit perfectly. The book flowed amazingly well, especially for a book covering a topic such as Linux. Even the practice test questions were easy to understand, and fit perfectly with the material. The explanations were also very easy to read, and fully explained how to solve the problem correctly. Michael did a great job making a book that is easy to read, enjoyable, and overall very effective. I was able to pass the test with ease, with only a week of real studying.
