Another common element to most other Linux training programs is that they focus on just one single Linux version. But in reality, once you start using Linux you'll find yourself needing to know how to work with several versions.

The Hello Linux! book covers the ALL Linux versions - including Red Hat Linux, Fedora Linux, SUSE Linux, Debain Linux, Ubuntu Linux, and Mandriva (formerly Mandrake) Linux. By learning the similarities and differences between these popular versions, you'll learn the concepts and commands that are common to all Linux versions!
If it's Linux certification you desire, the Hello Linux! book provides 300 pages of step-by-step hands-on exercises - an ideal way to prepare for Red Hat, LPI and Linux+ exams and get real-life practical experience that you can ultimately use in the field.
  "I needed something to help me get the basics for the Linux training and certification that I'm working on and the Hello Linux! book really fit the bill.  
  It's been so hard to find this kind of self-paced training . . . and it all works so well!  
  Thanks from someone who's really trying."

  "I paid a small fortune (more than I'd care to say) for some "brand name" Linux training and what a bust!  
  At the end of the day, the class is over, the instructor is gone, and their course book is sparse and basically unreadable.  
  I think yours is a fabulous training "system" - and at a very reasonable price.  
  Here, you get a thoroughly readable book with lots and lots of detailed Hands-On Exercises (Linux training labs).  
  Thanks for a great deal!"
