---Positive:
I am glad that I bought the book (44 € in Germany).
And I have found this to be a remarkable book.
I am german and reading english is usually not always a pleasure !
The author has found a good balance for explaining in easy words the complex content
of linux knowledge.
The fact of the existence of an .../errata/... webpage on www.OREILLY.com.
---Negative:
The huge amount of unanswered
>Unconfirmed error reports are from readers. They have not yet been
>approved or disproved by the author or editor
why not yet ???
>and represent solely
>the opinion of the reader.
"opinion" or facts would be nice to know in the near future !
>This page was updated October 24, 2002"

I pasted the important lines of
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lpicertnut/errata/lpicertnut.unconfirmed
in unconfirmed-errors.txt and found that
maldener@lp300:~/ddoc/buecher/lpi-certification-nutshell> nl unconfirmed-errors.txt
brought the unbelievable number of 232 unconfirmed lines of errata.
In comparison with 2 items "answered" by the author.
Really funny for linux-people: The "joke" about a little point.
>Please add a period "." at the end of the sentence.
rm -rf ./ or rm -rf / would have been worth with the period difference !
________________
I am disapointed that the author or another qualified person of Oreilly has not found the time to work it
through and to answer this amount of "open questions".
So now I am not really sure wether to use the book seriously ???

I will come back in 2003 and make a more recent nl command on

nl lpicertnut.unconfirmed
250 #Please change "180's" to "1800s"
to see if the 250 lines has become more or less. (((;-)(
Solong, Happy new year 2002 without wars in our world. (:-)
