CompTIA Linux+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (Exam XK0-005)

Great book

This has helped my husband tremendously in the cyber field! He’s taking classes and this book has done the job great

I think I found a small typo, page 11, "ls -help" rather than "ls --help"?I'll update if I see more!

Read it, studied it, drank and cried, and somehow got my certification with it. 10/10 would do it all over again

This book is packet with information that will definitely help someone learn about Linux, the exercises along the book help solidify the concepts in each chapter. I would just recommend verification of the order of some exercises' order on the online platform. I believe there is one online guided practice that does not appear in the book, and one exercise is mislabeled. Other than that I can see myself carrying this book with me at all time. I enjoyed it so much and I did get Linux+ on my first attempt without having any background.Amazing book. Thank you for this.

Okay so the book doesn't give the best instructions to get the vm image you need. First, it's in the index but not under Virtual Machines. You need to register and log into the hub.totalsem.com, the link is in the "Signel User License terms and Conditions" section, along with your key. To import the image, which the instructions have wrong due to updates to the software, you need to just download Virtual box, default settings, and click File, import appliance, file (select your file, likely in downloads), next, ensure it says, "Include only NAT network adapter MAC addresses", and finish. You should be fine, else do it again and select "Generate new MAC." FYI I'm using Oracle Virtual Box 7.0. The instructions also mention Vmware workstation but avoid that like the plague and get virtualbox. The instructions are down a bit. For some reason they put vmware at the top. It would not be my choice at all. Although I would say use vmware if your company was okay with it on your work machine.Also, you'll need to have a CPU capable of virtualization I guess, so turn that on in the BIOS. I think for my AMD system it was SVM? Don't quote me on that. You may need to select advanced features, and it depends on your BIOS or EFI, etc. Check your booklet that came with the board, cpu, or laptop.Once it comes up, just do the usual and check a site with ping or curl. Happy studying kids.Bad rating for a bad start. Come on guys the basic stuff for getting the image is obscure.

The book showed the "cd . ." command for changing directories: "to return to the original working directory enter cd . . ." he then had an entire paragraph explaining how the third dot is a period because books need periods after sentences! I don't like books that waste my time like that. Felt like the book was barley scratching the surface on the topics so you won't actually learn anything.

Book arrived as expected
