The perfect study guide for the LPIC exam. It follows the exam objectives really closely and pretty much guarantees you will take the exam if you follow the examples and learn the essential commands and configuration files.

Did the job, though only read the first half for level 1 and never did level 2 in the end.

Owned it since forever (mostly used it as a reference guide), but finally found the strength to go through it.
