Comprehensive, but sample exams are useless:
This was a good book to help me prepare for the LPIC 101 and 102 exams, which I passed. It is very comprehensive in its coverage and encompasses everything you will face on the LPIC exams. However, the sample questions and the sample exams on the CD are trivially easy compared to the actual exams. If I had to do it over again, I would not use this as my only source to study.
LPIC-1 must have study guide:
I would dare to say it is the best book to prepare for LPIC-1 today (end of 2007.). It follows LPIC-1 objectives more closely then "LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell" (which I also own), is well written and keeps your interest. Also, a very good reference for basic linux administration. I've used it as a main study guide for 101 exam ( + various HOWTOs, man pages, and "LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell") and passed :). Now using it for 102 which I plan to take in a few weeks.
LPIC1 - Study Guide : very much recommandable:
As a Belgian citizen, I got interested in Linux one year ago. We have several monthly magazines on the bookstore shells, but it didn't gave me any satisfaction, because I was looking for something that could teach me about Linux in a way a novice -as I am - could understand and use it a practical way.
Well, through this book, made up as a self-study object, I'm getting close to the concept of Linux and its superb possibilities as an OS.
We don't have that kind of books here in Europe... more info
Best among the LPIC prep books:
I just passed LPIC 101 with a good score thanks to this book. It follows the LPIC objectives very closely. Since the publication of the book the objectives were updated at the end of last year, so you might have to read upon those changed ones.
The author not only covers the objectives of the exam but gives enough background if you need to fill holes. I'm confident to face 102 with this book in my hand and under my pillow.
Please note that I also read Brunson's LPIC I and the just published... more info
