New to Linux
Hi. First I want to say thank you to everyone who posts actively on this site. It is extremely helpful to anyone looking to get certified.
I am new to Linux and my plan is to get my Linux+ cert before the end of the year to make it a lifetime cert. I am able to commit 4-5 hours of study time a day every day of the week, and possible more on the weekends. I am looking for a book to help me pass both the LX0-101 & LX0-102. I read that the 101 test is a bit more challenging than the 102 test. I picked up from a friend, the Novell's Guide to CompTIA's Linux+ guide. Its designed as a 5 day course. Any feedback on that? Im looking to get this done by the end of Nov, first week of Dec so that I can retake if I dont pass.
Any help, ideas, suggestions would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I apologize for such a long post.

2. 1 month even with non-stop cramming involved won't get you through. But taking the course would definitely put you on a fast track, just not THAT fast.
I have used linux here and there and wanted to fast track it to the L+ before the EOL on Oct 18th but the more I looked at the objectives, the further away I felt from completion. It's definitely worth it to slow it down and when you're truly comfortable with it (including the weird switches with alot of commands) itll be time to take it.
Thanks for the mention.
