How to Prepare for the Linux+

in Linux+
Ok, now that I have Ubuntu, how do I prepare for the Linux+? I have Ubuntu at work on a VM machine. I have heard that Cent5 OS was awesome as well. I may use VM Server at home to load Cent5 OS. (Has anyone had any trouble with that?)
My main question is-- How do I prepare for the Linux+ now that I have Ubuntu? Are there online labs to go through? I do plan to take and pass the CCNA before the Linux+ -- and I want to study a Unix book before I get serious about L+.
So, how do I get started?
Thanks!

Best way to get started is to buy a Linux+ book -- this one is good
Perform the exercises as you read through the book. Get as much hands on with Linux as you can and don't be afraid to try things out on your system.
The L+ is a straight forward exam which sticks to the posted objectives well. The GUI is not a big part of the exam. Drive it around.

What do you think is the significant difference between installing in a VM and a traditional installation? Are you comparing a traditional installation to pre-built packages like VMWare Player appliances and VHDs?
I don't see how installing directly onto a machine is significantly different than installing in a VM. Maybe it's just late..

I think what he meant was don't use the GUI to configure stuff in Linux, use the CLI. It would be good to know how to configure X though.
