Product Description
Getting Started with Linux: Novell's Guide to CompTIA's Linux+ (Course 3060) introduces students to the knowledge and skills needed to manage all Linux distributions. Specifically, this course covers the objectives outlined by CompTIA for its Linux+ exam and certification, an international industry credentials that offers proof of knowledge. Not only does this course prepare students for the ComTIA Linux+ exam; it offers an excellent way to begin preparing for the Novell Certification Linux Professional (Novell CLP) practicum exam. In fact, after completing this course, students will have acquired one-third the knowledge needed to become a full Novell CLP, the ideal certification for people interested in becoming Linux administrators.
Customer Reviews & Comments
I bought this book because my class Linux Essentials IST190 at Trident Technical College requires it. First of all, the book is very expensive, you can get the entire PDF file on Novell's website ( [...])for free instead of paying the overpriced tag of $[...] for it. The only difference between the book and the PDF file is that the PDF file does not have the chapter review questions and key terms. Moreover, this book covers only one flavor of Linux which is the SUSE 9.0, therefore, not enough information covered for the CompTIA's Linux+ exam. Nevertheless, the book is good for those who don't know anything about Linux and want to get the basics of the operating system. However, I wouldn't recommend this book for an intermediate or advance Linux user to use it as a source for the Linux+ exam or any other Linux certification. It has many TYPOS, it does not cover in depth how to use the command line interface, and after chapter 3, the author expects for you to be a Linux intermediate user by explaining the barely basics of the OS. So, if you need this book for your Linux class, then you have no choice but to get it. I recommend you to buy a used book instead, not worth spending $[...] for this CRAP. But if you want to learn linux on your own, I recommend Linux Bible, Linux Pocket guide or get the free PDF file on Novell's website.
I hope this was helpful
