Just keep in mind it's an 'Essentials' exam.

E.g., When I wrote the Linux Essentials Learning Materials for the Security
Objective, I had to pare back 80% of what I wrote on the matter just to not
overload the learner, even though it was - - to me - - essential for real
world knowledge.

So, case-in-point... what might be ideal in a book, from notes, tips,
sidebars, even appendicies, might not be ideal for an 'Essentials'
obective, or even the Official Learning Materials either.

They are not to even LPIC-1 level.
