This book is way out of date. I barely failed the second LPIC1(102) test because the book did not cover any of the new material that has been added to the LPIC1 objectives. I also only barely passed the first test as well using this book.
It is not that the book is not written well, but that the LPIC Test has changed and O'Reilly really needs to update the book or take it off the market. It is a disgrace for them to still be selling this book when people are spending good money on a certification test which they will probably not be able to pass with this book. And I am actually a big fan of O'Reilly books in general.
There is a new ExamCram book(www.examcram.com) that just came out for the LPIC1 certification. And it is totally up to date. It even has a practise test that runs on Linux. Even though you have to go to their Website for an update for a problem with the program included on CD with the book. Anyway, just bought the Exam Cram book and I will have to pay another $100.00 to take the LPIC1(102) test again.
