LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell by Adam Haeder
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A compehensive look at all the objectives on the LPIC1, though slightly dated in its lack of GRUB2, systemd and udev coverage. The first half, focusing on the 101 exam, does a decent job of bringing the reader along with concepts and practical exercises. The second half, focusing on exam 102, is a bit convoluted in its presentation of the material, leaving many of the underlying concepts not fully explained or deductively presenting key information without explanation of foundation concepts.
As a whole, preparing for the LPIC1 with this book alone might prove difficult. But supplemented by other texts, online tutorials, along with constant practice of the commands, configuration files and concepts that this book does cover should give the test taker a fighting chance on test day.
