Server+ or Linux+ first?

After failing the CASP, I need to brush up on my knowledge of Linux, and probably servers too. So I was probably going to take both Linux+ and Server+

for those that have taken both, should I take one before the other?

I don't think there's a lot of Linux material in the Server+ track. If you are going for more Linux knowledge, studying for Linux+/LPIC is a better bet.

What exactly about servers do you need to know?
You might be able to just learn that material and skip the Server+ exam.

I would still say go for Linux+, but what help you understand servers better is going for the Microsoft Server certs. I haven't really seen much advertised for Server+ (which is why I skipped and went for an MSCA). Understanding some light VMWare and any cloud certs is useful for servers... depending on where your trying to go with this.

It hasn't helped me one bit finding job opportunities and its focused on the hardware side of things (its also a worthless certification). Linux + is an operating system based certification, so go with that.

Linux+. If you understand the material, you'll be on your way to administrating Linux servers.
