LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell by Steven Pritchard

LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell by Steven Pritchard

Suitable for determining what you need to practice to pass the Linux Professional Institute exams. This book includes topics such as: GNU and Unix commands; Linux installation and package management; Devices, file systems, and kernel configuration; Text editing, processing, and printing; The X Window System; Email, FTP, and Web services; and more.

"..is characteristically O'Reilly through and through - vastly detailed, confidently written and not dressed up with too many screenshots or wild page designs. Although Linux Certifcation...is structured as a front-to-back read, mirroring the order of the LPIC topics, it also features page markings to help you use it as a quick reference guide when you've worked through it. The book shows you how to prepare for the LPIC exams, with exercises and examples galore, plus a host of massively useful practice exams to give you a taste of the real thing... O'Reilly's book is a monster, covering everything in great depth, and even though it's a bit costly it's worth the price given the exhaustive coverage therein. Just don't expect any kind of entertainment along the way - it's all very serious stuff." Verdict: A bulging, desk-warping behemoth of a book, tackling LPIC topics with clarity and excellent details. Rating: 9/10 - Mike Saunders, Linux Format, May 2007
