The book was not bad. Readable, made clear concepts that might not be intuitive, and concise when it counted. Most importantly, it sticks pretty close to the agenda for the Linux+ Comptia test.

I haven’t taken the test yet so, we’ll see. This is one of about 4 or 5 books I’ve used to study for Linux certifications.

I wasn’t certain which Linux cert. I wanted to take. Actually my preference is the Redhat RHCE but, that’s expensive and tough compared to Linux+ from what I’ve learned. My plan is to get the Linux+ and then the RHCE.

I would suggest you also look at Michael Jang’s RHCE study guide. Even though it’s targeted at the RHCE, between the two books you get a very good feeling for Linux at a fairly indepth level. A year or so of actual hands on experience as a Linux Admin or related experience is reasonable as well before you bother with the test.

The obvious error in the Linux+ 2005 In Depth book is chapter 15 practice review questions are the same as the chapter 14 and not relevent to chapter 15. An obvious problem since - a big benefit is going thru these exercises and this is a semi-advanced chapter. In my copy anyway…
