Thinking about studying Linux+

si20

Hi all,

Once my OSCP is out of the way, i'm going for the Linux+ cert/course. I'm going to be self-studying and i'm really looking forward to it. I've taken 1/2 of the RHA030 and got 89% for a Linux report I did at University, so I feel like i've got a really good background prior to starting this course.

Can you answer the following questions? (I know they'll differ per person):

1) How long did it take you to learn/study for this cert?
2) Was the exam hard?
3) You have to take 2 exams??
4) Was the exam worth it e.g did you get a Linux-related job role afterwards?

Thanks.

1. 3 weeks for each exam (previous experience with technical courses studying Linux helped) 2. It was moderately difficult 3. Yes 4. Yes, but also because I had sysadmin experience with Windows and VMware. Go check out this link if you haven't already: http://www.techexams.net/forums/linux/104402-linux-study-resources.html
