CompTIA Linux+: Exam XK0-004

Easy to understand, Lays everything out step-by-step great quizzes I’m still going through it so I haven’t taken my exam yet but this in a video course I’m working on really helped me understand the processes to prepare for the exam

After a few months of trying a hands-on approach to learning Linux, I decided to purchase this as a supplemental learning tool. And it became the opposite! The guide became the primary. With in-depth information; easy to understand terminology; and real world examples! It is undeniably worth it!

Used this as one of my review materials and I am happy with the content and the online practice tests that came with it. Thumbs up!

I'm still using it so I have no opinion either way, but it looks great! Haha

Came as described, fast shipping, looks new, A+++

So far the book is good and has updated test info. I approve.

Great, has helped me a lot with my class

At best, this might be an outline - remains to be seen when I take the test.Don't expect this to teach you Linux. If you use it, use it as an outline, and then be ready and able to study the subject matter on your own, with on-line resources, other books, man pages, and your Linux terminal in front of you.The style is incompetent - highly superficial and anecdotal in much of what it covers; ridiculous - "The best thing about [xargs] is that you sound like a pirate when you pronounce it..."; and outright (didactically) incompetent - like the introduction to hard links (pp57) (which ironically is introduced with the caveat that "many people are confused about hard links" - right, including the authors and anybody who might try to learn this subject from them).Command substitution is never called that. Instead, you "..put the command to execute in parentheses and precede it with a dollar sign." And later on, as the "$()" method." Which is technically not wrong, but do you talk about driving a car as "sitting down on a seat in a plastic or metal box with doors and windows and wheels, putting your foot on a pedal that goes in and out, and your hands on a round thing that can turn clockwise and counter-clockwise"? Would you trust somebody like that to teach you how to drive a car? Right!If you want to actually learn Linux, look for other resources - like "The Linux Command Line" by William Shotts, Jr., which is an excellent starting point (including for hard links).Use this book at best as a guide to the exam, and then go learn Linux on your own. I've made myself work through the first 100 pages; let's see how much longer I can endure this.
