CompTIA Linux+ Study Material

Hello,

I've decided to start pursuing the CompTIA Linux+ certification. I've complied a study list based on what i'm seeing on TE, if i've missed anything please chime in.

The Linux Command Line-William Shotts
The Linux Command Line by William E. Shotts, Jr.

Linux Acadmey
https://linuxacademy.com/

I'm up in the air about which book would be best suited for the LX0-103 and LX0-104 exams. I see:

All In One Linux+
CompTIA Linux+/LPIC-1 Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Second Edition (Exams LX0-103 & LX0-104/101-400 & 102-400): Robb Tracy: 9780071841689: Amazon.com: Books

and the Linux+ Sybex book
http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Linux-Powered-Professional-Institute/dp/1119021219/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438308951&sr=8-1&keywords=Linux%2B

Any advice on study material would be appreciated!

-Travis

I used the 1st 2 resources you've listed. That was pretty much all I used.

Pricey, but I'd recommend Linux+ Guide to Linux Certification: Jason W. Eckert: 9781305107168: Amazon.com: Books or even the Linux Bible as your main study source, but not really necessary.

Edit: I forgot, I also blitzed through CBT Nuggets before going thru Linux Academy.

I used all 4 of 101-102.......and more (CBT nuggets......Train Signal.......Linux in a nutshell)

Sybex is.....blah......I barely read it....matter of fact, I let my friend hold it for his exam......

Robb Tracy is cool....It gives you a logical approach to Linux overall, but the book is a pain to study with because it doesn't match up with the exam objectives straight through (Chapter 1 = 101.1 Chapter 2 = 102.1....etc)....It kinda goes all over the place

Linux Academy is real cool......I think once I get past 102 next week, I'll really have fun.....especially standing up a LAMP stack......

the William Shotts book is cool, but I think the real benefit in having that book comes AFTER you pass the test. I find myself not using it as much for studying.....its more of a reference book....Have it on the desk while you are configuring a server.

Knowing what I know now...I would start with Linux Academy and maybe Robb Tracy..maybe CBT.....and keep it like that.....

Linux Academy alone will take care of it. Almost every candidate that goes through their program passes the exams.
