Rezensionen

"Die Lernhilfe fasst den kompletten Prüfungsstoff in knappen Textabsätzen zusammen, Kommandozeilen und kurze Beispiel-Listings ergänzen die Fibel. Dazu kommen zahlreiche Lektüre-Hinweise, die Manpages, Systemdokumentation und Webseiten empfehlen, denn der Band versteht sich eher als Führer durch den umfangreichen Lernstoff, weniger als vollständiges Lehrbuch. [...] Der Band ist trotz des Umfangs übersichtlich und aufgeräumt. Das macht ihn zu einem guten Hilfsmittel fürs Selbststudium, er hilft dem Prüfungskandidaten dabei, den Lernstoff zu strukturieren und diszipliniert zu lernen." -- Linux Magazin, Heft 08/07, Juli 2007
