Summary: This book is about twice the size it needs to be.
Comment: I bought this book to get info on the various Linux certifications that are available... I NEEDED that information right now, and the book delivered - Particularly by using the companion website... but this book could have been half the size ( and presumably, half the price) the information of exam cramming techniqies etc is avaialble elsewhere and quite unnecessary.

I suspect that this book will date quite rapidly... its a read once and give to a library type book... you wont refer to it again...

Summary: Started well, but lost focus
Comment: The book started well -- FAQ on why certification for Linux is a good thing; introduced the different type of Cert. by different distribution vendors.

However, the book lost focus from Part two onwards. This should not be an adult education book, the assumption was a big turn-off. This is not a study guide either -- the whole chapter on study secrets read likes a "copy and paste" out of a second rated study-tips website. Speed reading, mnemonics and mind map have little, if at all, benefits helping anyone passing technical certifications.

Subjects such as asking for a pay rise after certification, moving up, job hunting .... are better left with other books.

Pros: the References at the back are useful. Cut the size of the book in half, focus on only the essentials, then it may earn another point.
