This weekend I had time to finish the reading of CompTIA Linux+ Cetification Study Guide. I don’t want to pass this exam, but the content of the book looked exciting to “refresh” basic Linux concepts.
Now that I’ve read the 1040 pages, I can say that it’s really a good book; The author, Robb Tracy, is excellent at explaining key concepts in an understandable way. It’s not “yet another man-page-like book”, it tells you what you’ll encounter 90% of the time during your job as a sysadmin with real world examples.
It won’t make a Linux expert out of you by reading it, but that’s not the point anyway. Be aware that all the examples in the book rely on SuSE and Fedora Linux distributions.
