A decent introduction to Linux:
This book covers a lot about Linux and has some great information to help someone study for the Linux+ exam. As others have noticed, I too have found a few typos. The book clearly wants to cover a lot of critical information about Linux and the exam, so certain sections are definitely lighter than others. I have not viewed the included CD yet, so cannot comment on its quality. If someone is looking to learn about Linux and is looking for a study guide for the Linux+ exam, this is a good start.

Not Bad - But Not Great:
Bought this book because it had a high content (1000+ pgs), practice exams, and a test CD. Halfway through the book and I am already purchasing another Linux+ study guide because this one is flawed.

Great study guide; provides valuable overall knowledge of Linux:
Robb Tracy does an excellent -- and up-to-date -- job of covering lots of Linux real estate. Whether you're a beginner or someone with experience, this book is worth the money. Between its extensive exercises, lab tests, drills, and self-tests, you will know this subject! Tracy also makes each chapter digestible, i.e., there are no endless chapters that wander. Those who failed their tests did so because they made the rookie mistake of relying on one resource. Jeez, read a second book dudes!
