Product Description:
As Linux continues its rapid expansion into Corporate America, the demand for qualified administrators has grown. As the Cisco, Microsoft, A+ and other certifications have shown, professional certifications are often a deciding factor when an individual is considered for a job. The Linux Professional Institute Certification 1 offers the validation of skill level beyond the power-user and helpdesk level, at an entry-level admin base.
LPIC 1 Certification Bible is organized around the exam objectives.It includes self-assessment questions with each chapter as well as an inclusive practice exam at the end of the book. Plus, you'll find plenty of exam-taking tips and hints based on the live exams.
Covers: Exam LPI-101
Amazon.com Review:
Every other teenager and tens of thousands of university students have installed Linux and configured it for this job or that. That doesn't mean they're qualified to run Linux servers for a company that relies on them, regardless of what they may claim on their résumés. Your claim to real professional Linux competence will be bolstered by a Linux Professional Institute Certification (LPIC), the most basic of which LPIC 1 Certification Bible will help you earn. The contents and organization of this book are derived from the published LPIC exam (101 and 102) objectives, and it was written by two LPIC 1-certified authors.
By and large, this is an introductory Linux book, with sections on installing the operating system, getting around at the command line, manipulating files, and doing essential administration of users, devices, and network connections. As such, you'll find this book rewarding even if you're not particularly interested in earning your LPIC 1 certificate. The authors present lists of options and details, and include listings of command-line input and output, to illustrate what you should see as you work with Linux (Red Hat is the demo distribution). Questions and answers appear at chapter ends and on the companion CD-ROM. --David Wall
Topics covered: The subjects you're expected to know to pass the LPIC 1 exam, including Linux installation, configuration, and administration. Basic networking matters are discussed, but advanced network topics are reserved for books about the LPIC 2 exam.

This book is exellent for those who want to certify.
One big fat NOTE:
Do not use the training plan for each exam , that's in the book.
Go to www.lpi.org for detailed requirements. Also read online (HOW-TO's) while preparing. Although the book is really good for preparation, things have changed in the meanwhile..

If you are buying this book to study for the exam, look carefully at the objectives on the lpi website rather than following the plan presented in this book. I studied the material in the sections that were presented for exam 101, but they have changed. It is an excellent resource, but dated.

A little dry from time to time but its a Linux Cert book, what do you expect?
A good read, general knowledge any competent Linux sysadmin should have handy, or at least nearby.
LPIC is vendor neutral, and the book reflects it having you set up Debian and Red Hat.
MCSE grads seeking credibility can run VMWare on their Windows boxes to get through the labs and obtain a real cert.
Rating:  -
Having gone thru the first few chapters, I get the feeling that the book is very focussed on the exams it tries to get you thru, and is pretty to-the-point in arrangement of topics.
Also the study guides and sample questions make it helpful in getting a grip on what the exam would feel like, for someone giving the LPI exams the first time (and hopefully the last time too).
Unlike Rute's Linux user tutorial which also caters to LPI exma sbut is more focussed toward learning Linux ... Read More

This book is useful for reviewing and/or referencing but do not believe this book will get you past exam 101.
First, it does not stress rpm package installation; commands and options/switches. This book puts the latter with exam 102; WRONG!
Second, it does not provide all the detailed information required to pass, such as scenarios and X installation.
Finally, I suggest studying from the lpic website's detailed objective list.
Good luck everyone....Slackware rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
