CompTIA Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification

Fair price. I still dislike that textbooks used for school are 5x more than a book that covers the same material but isn't used for College. As far as the actual content of the book, I would say it's very nice. It came with a DVD that has Fedora. I am using centOS7 however.

Shows how to set up. Commands used within linux distros

Good

An excellent product, of excellent quality, delivered in excellent time.

I am using this book in my classes and is very helpful in my studies.

The content itself was acceptable, considering it's battling the constant updates to software, and some of it is already out-of-date. When following through, you have to be aware that your installation of Fedora (the distro that it uses) may differ slightly from what's in the book. However, the most egregious thing I found was that there were several typos throughout the book, particularly within the end of chapter review questions and exercises (and I'm about half way through). These typos included the actual Linux commands themselves, and where a) it focuses heavily on the command-line interface and b) there's no easy way to check the answers to the review questions without further access to the Instructor Site (sold separately of course), it was frustrating to identify answers to questions and I had to further research on the 'net to find out whether I was wrong, or the book was. If anyone has the book and wants examples, check out Project 3-2, Step 9, or Chapter 5 review Questions, Question 20.It does rush through a few small things, while seemingly spending too much time on others, but it's difficult to find a technical book that balances this well. Overall it was ok, and it was required for my course, but in my opinion it's not worth the price and if I was self-studying and had a choice, i would have picked something else.

Went ack to school renting book was cheapest way

College textbook:A new version releases every year making the older versions particularly worthless unless you want to keep it for referenceAutomatic 1 star

A good read, but the digital content(Cd) and online registering are both non-functional. Big let down.
