not what I had expected 2 out of 5 stars.

I'm not going to criticize the flash cards too much, for I did pass the a+ exam, but the flash cards were more of a foundation for the a+ exam. The exam questions were not at all like the flash cards. And the cd-rom that came with the flash cards could only be installed on a palm top, which I do not own. There were also alot of incorrect answers on the flash cards as well (I had my instructor look them over). If you took a class in preparation for the a+ exam, just study your notes. I would not recommend the flash cards to anyone.

A + certification for DUMMIES 1 out of 5 stars.

This book is full of mistakes! I wrote the author and he did admit to many mistakes throughout this book. There is everything from misspelled words to contradicting information. If no-one has a clue about what is right or wrong in this book, they are being mislead.

Editorial Review:

Designed to help readers study anywhere, these flashcards contain 250 questions covering all the categories of objectives like planning, installing, troubleshooting, configuring and monitoring. The CD-ROM presents electronic versions of the flashcards for Palm Pilot and Windows CE devices.

Quick Reference is the strong point 4 out of 5 stars.
8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

The Quick Reference guide is exactly that. A quick reference to allow you to get specific information about the aspect in UNIX you are having a problem with. I have a couple UNIX books and I find myself coming to this one, because it keeps it in a nutshell. If you are looking for something to "learn" UNIX, I would keep looking, but if you have read the UNIX books and now you need "one" guide to keep at your fingertips, this would be it.

the Decent book! 4 out of 5 stars.

Ok guys this book isn't bad. It is very descriptive and well written. The problem is there's much of water, long blah-blah-blah and so on. It takes too long to start and then looOOoong leaps from one real problem to another. But it is "for dummy" book it supposed to be like that with all explanations back to the beginning.
I have found here on Amazon training Linux and UNIX for a beginner training suite, 4DVDs + 2CDs includes 4 Unix Academy Certifications ed.2008. It is very cool one, straight to the subject, very useful. I coupled this book with DVD and I believe I learned more then my friend who attended $2000 class.
This book is good , but DVD is DVD, it is like you have class at home. This book is very useful though. When you start with UNIX it is like starting with violin:you have to practice every day and this book paired with the DVD gives much of what you will ever need.

Editorial Review:

A title in the "For Dummies Quick Reference" series, this pocket-sized book covers all common Unix problems.

Editorial Review:

Whether you have inherited an older Macintosh or just bought a brand-new one, you'll get more from it with the assistance of Macs for Dummies. In addition to the fundamental information that has put generations of Mac users on the right track, this latest edition of a long-standing bestseller incorporates information about the newest Mac developments, including Mac OS 8.5 and the iMac.

On top of author David Pogue's coverage of the system itself and Mac hardware, Macs for Dummies shows you how to use all the most popular Mac application programs, including AppleWorks (also known as ClarisWorks) and Microsoft Office. There's also an excellent glossary that helps you figure out jargon you may encounter in manuals and on the Internet.

This book would be better if Pogue had included more about creating local area networks (LANs) for Macs--such networks are popping up in homes and small offices everywhere. Setting up Mac LANs is so easy, it seems unnecessary to relegate information about it to More Macs for Dummies, as Pogue and his publisher have done. But by itself, the information here is extremely valuable, especially for people totally new to computing. Macs for Dummies makes you feel welcome in the Mac community. --David Wall
