• A Good Book. 24 March, 2007
This is a good book to prepare the Linux+ certification.
There are chapters on hardware and software in which you can find also basic informations those could be useful also for technicians to recall knowledge. If you are a Linux expert you could find too easy, but it gives you all you need to understand the topics of the exam.
I'll use it also as reference in the future.

• A Good Read, Concise And Detailed Enough To Start 11 June, 2007
I found this book had alot of useful material and little filler. The book provides useful commands and common examples for using those commands without filling it with a bunch of man pages like some books. It also gives some key tips that will be helpful to any system administrator. I thought there should have been more information on system services like apache or mailsend, but maybe those won't be really covered much on the exam.
The questions at the end of the chapter, as mentioned by other users, aren't very useful, so you'll likely need to test yourself with other resources.
Don't be fooled by some reviewers who try to dispute the book with petty inconsistencies. They often are more interested in sounding like they have been diehard linux users all their life than actually giving any reliable feedback.
Pros: good coverage of cli commands, concise information without filler, useful tips that help you become a system administrator.
Cons: bad end of chapter questions, somewhat disorganized in the way the content is presented.

• You Will Need Another Book In Addition To This To Pass 03 February, 2008
I took and passed the test in October 2006. I found that many of the questions on the 2005 Exam covered areas not in this book. As other reviewers have posted, I also used Michael Jang's RHCE Prep guide to flesh out the weak areas. The exam itself leans toward RedHat so it is not surprising the exam prep does too, and why Yang's prep guide was so helpful. So my advice is get this book but also get Jang's book also.

• Not Enough To Pass The Test 20 January, 2008
Read the book entirely, reviewed, and learned all the information. There was an abundance of questions on the Linux+ exam that were not mentioned in this book. All the questions that were covered in this book I got right in the exam and still didn't pass. One question that came up in the exam was " How do you finish off a while statement" and nowhere in this book gives an example of a while statement. I happen to know now that the answer is "done" thanks to another book. That is only one example of many. Other than that, I do believe this book is well written and has resourceful information.
