LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell: Covers General Linux Exams 101 and 102 (In a Nutshell
Companies ranging from IBM to Novell are dramatically expanding Linux training and development. Certification will be a key part of this trend, and support is growing for an industry-wide Linux certification program. Most companies want a vendor-neutral certification initiative, and the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is the leading effort in this direction. As more corporations adopt Linux as the networking backbone for their IT systems, the demand for certified technicians will become even greater.
LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell prepares system administrators for the basic LPI General Linux 101 exam and the more advanced 102 exam, and includes information on objectives and test suggestions. It also provides readers who aren't planning to take the exam with an excellent understanding of the targeted Linux concepts and functions.
The book is divided into two parts, one for each of the LPI exams. Each part features a summary of the exam, a Highlighter's Index, labs, suggested exercises, and practice exams to help you pass the LPI exams with flying colors.
Part I covers the General Linux 101 Exam:
GNU and Unix commands Devices, Linux filesystems, and the filesystem hierarchy standard Boot, initialization, shutdown and run levels Documentation Administrative tasks Part II covers the General Linux 102 Exam:
Linux installation and package management The Linux kernel Text editing, processing, and printing Shells, scripting, programming, and compiling X-Windows Networking fundamentals Network services Security For those preparing to take the LPI Linux Certification Exams, this book will prove to be invaluable in its scope and breadth. Linux newbies will also find this book useful for learning more about how to use their Linux system.

Ah, a big book of Linux trivia. 2001 Linux trivia to be more exact and because this book is tied to the topics of the LPI exam (which are currently in their 5 revision or so) this book also contains many dull and pointless facts which somebody thought would be useful to ask on an exam but make this a book which ages extremely bad.
On the other hand, I do am happy to confirm that I still recall the contents (and the pain) of setting up an XF86Config, and knowing that not re-running lilo after recompiling your kernel could result in an unbootable system, or that dial-up process we learned to love in the '90s when using your 33k6 modem to dial in to your ISP.
Anyhow where a 'normal' Linux book is typically 80% solid foundation and 20% aged content, this book is a healthy 50-50, meaning I will have again made some free room in my book case.
