Interested in Linux+, need some advice

rbutturini

Hello all,

Glad to find this resource to discuss certifications with fellow techies! Looking forward to some great threads.

I am currently studying for the Linux+ exam, after becoming fed up and bored with Microsoft (I've taken WAY too many MS exams). Have done a little Linux/Unix work in college, and installed and played with Linux quite a few times, so I was anxious to expand my knowledge base. I've been reading Linux+ 2005 in depth, and going through and working every example it provides on my own system. I feel like I'm getting a pretty good handle on the OS and can hold my own in it, but is just reading this book and maybe working a practice test enough for someone with limited real world experience? Can anyone reccomend some more good resources to check out? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

For Linux+, yes, combining a book, practice test, and a Linux practice 'lab' will do just fine. Compared to your other certs it will be a very fair exam.

Can anyone reccomend some more good resources to check out?

You could start here, just in case you didn't notice our Linux+ section yet:

I too will be checking this out since I have no Linux anywhere on my resume! Not a good idea nowadays!!
