Linux+ studying approach

Z0sickx

So i signed up for LinuxAcademy and did a 3 month subscription and went through the videos and listening and taking notes on what i think is important (almost everything) then i do the labs which i feel in some instances can be done in more ways then one (even if it is less efficient) will the exam be picky about it?

i feel like going through the material now having previous system admin experience would really be helpful. Though i do have experience using Redhat for the least 4 years it was only in the sense of how it interacts with the application i use (Nessus)

for those of you that had 0 Linux background how did you cope? trying to learn linux in depth is like being pulled in 5 different directions at one time with it not neccesarly being related to the material you just learned before. 1 minute you go from doing simple rpm grep commands to all these different ways to man or pull information from 1 text file into 2 files it all makes my head spin

I just went thru the videos and learned everything that was in them. Then I bought the transgender practice test and made sure I knew why all the right answers were right and all the wrong answers were wrong.

There'll always be multiple ways to do something. But when studying the exam, you want the ways that are covered on the exam. So I learned those first. I got a Systems Admin position directly after and started to dive into the various alternate and more modern ways of doing the same tasks afterwards, as well as the myriad of tasks not covered not he exams.

Good luck!
