Ebook Review
Sybex is one of the most requested and relied on publishers when it comes to certification exams. This book covers XK0-002, the most recent Linux+ xam. One word of warning, do not rely on just one book to pass the exam. Study well, combine this study guide with more books covering systems administration on Linux and you will be good to go. The book covers such topics as: Installation, commands, user management, disk management, package and process management, security, networking, hardware and documentation. Again, this is a study guide. If you need to review some topics in detail, supplement this material with live OS exercises and reference books. Kudos to Roderick W. Smith on this solid study guide! --By J. Tairov (Baton Rouge, LA)
