..while looking for a book to use to study for this exam, I visited the LPI site - those behind the certification. I found the list of 50 things to know for the exam excerpted from this book. If the vendor thought enough of the book to post such, that was a good enough recommendation for me. After taking the exam, I found why the book is so highly recommended - without a doubt, I would have failed had it not been for the pertinent information relayed here.
Good Content; Good Writing

I happened across this book while reading an excerpt from it in UnixReview. LPI had just starting shipping certificates (what good is a certification without a certificate?), so I decided to see just how hard the exams were. I have been a Unix junkie for about ten years, and a Linux convert for two. Before buying anything, I looked at my reference library and found that Chris Hare and Emmett Dulaney - the same two authors here - had written Inside Unix; one of the only books that has had the staying power to still be a good reference seven years after I bought it. Without hesitation, I bought the LPI I and II Exam Crams and found the writing style and knowledge to be of the same high calibre. Epilogue: I passed both exams the first time out.
The only thing between you and LPI

I first used the LPI I Exam Cram to pass the first test - you need to pass two to become LPI certified. After that, it was a no-brainer to pick up the second book by the same author. Once again, I was not disappointed. As a consultant, I must know both Microsoft and Linux operating systems, and be able to differentiate details down to the most minute. This book helped me do that with Linux - and pass the exam to become certified.
