Title: Great Start for Linux beginners
Review: This book was used as a part of my class instruction for Linux certification. It is very easy to read and covers topics in a manner that the beginning student can grasp. It is also a thorough treatment of the topics involved for an LCA certification. It has questions at the end of each chapter and a CDrom (that unfortunately runs on Windows only) with sample exams to test your knowledge of the material. I give this book 5 stars because it is a great learning tool. However, if you wish to pursue a LCA certification, I recommend that you also review the SAIR books. The SAIR books prepare you much better for the FORMAT of the certification exams. My feeling was that I learned Linux with this book and that I learned how to take the certification exams with the SAIR books. They compliment each other well.
