Description

The Linux+ certification provides a broad awareness of Linux operating systems, while giving professionals an upper hand in the IT industry. With this certification, you’ll be equipped with the all-important knowledge of installation, operation, administration, and troubleshooting services. This CompTIA Linux+ Certification Guide will give you an overview of the system architecture. You’ll understand how to install and uninstall Linux distributions, followed by working with various package managers. You’ll then move on to manipulating files and processes at the command-line interface (CLI) and creating, monitoring, killing, restarting, and modifying processes. As you progress, you’ll be equipped to work with display managers and learn how you can create, modify, and remove user accounts and groups, as well as understand how to automate tasks. The last set of chapters will help you configure dates and set up local and remote system logging. In addition to this, you’ll explore different internet protocols, and delve into network configuration, security administration, Shell scripting, and SQL management. By the end of this book, you’ll not only have got to grips with all the modules you need to study for the LX0-103 and LX0-104 certification exams, but you’ll also be able to test your understanding with practice questions and mock exams.

After going through this book, I've gained more appreciation for Linux.Particularly in dealing with multiboot environments, working with the various boot loaders.Once I started going through the chapters, I found them to cover the current Linux+ exams (LX0-103 & LX0104).This in turn increased my confidence with the various Linux distributions which is ideal for me in my exam preparations. I would highly recommend this book for system admins and network admins looking to get up to speed in Linux and for those newbies like myself preparing for the CompTIA Linux+ certification.

Yo uso este libro como referencia y me sirve de mucho para ese fin. Probablemente bastaría para aprender Linux si se lee y pone en práctica de principio a fin, pero creo que hay maneras más rápidas de aprender a usar ese sistema operativo. De todas formas, es muy completo y se puede seguir bien.

Very useful. I recommend it to anyone who plans to sit the LX0-103 and LX0-104 exams

The author did good, brief, and view of examples for all the processes. This the best I have ever seen for studying for an exam.
