Great book for a recap of the overall commands and ideas for the Linux+.
Definitely lives up to the "One Compact, Portable Resource" tag line.

Although, giving it only 4 stars, I felt like the overall structure of the book was good, but saying to "refer back to such and such section" over and over was tiresome.
Also, there were some commands I would have enjoyed seeing mentioned in this book.

Would recommend for anyone studying for this exam, (Linux+ XK0-004)!
