Reader Reviews
This book could have been a great one; indeed, the fact that the author is actually the Director of CompTIA Training and Development should have made this an authoratitive reference for the exam. Instead, this book is a complete failure as it is filled with literally hundreds of typographical, conceptual, and grammatical mistakes. The author's writing style is childish, and author's superficial treatment of topics reveals his possible fundamental lack of understanding of Linux concepts. The majority of the screen shots are ill-conceived and poorly formatted. Considering the numerous obvious mistakes, it reads like this book wasn't proof-read whatsoever. Worse still, there are obvious mistakes in the quiz questions that come with the chapters. In short, this is not the book to use to prepare for Linux+ Certification. Osborne-McGrawHill should be embarrassed for printing this book. I returned mine to the bookstore and urge anyone studying for the exam to consider alternative study sources.
