You can search the forum, there is a lot of great information to be learned from just searching for it. Beginng the LINUX Command Line is a good resource for learning. If you really want to learn try this: llthw - *nix spellbook Learn Linux The Hard Way

I'm preparing for the Linux+ exam myself. I've been using, "Beginners: Introduction to Linux." Beginners: Part 1 of 18. Introduction to Using Linux - YouTube. 18 part series. He is very clear and concise. And it becomes a little more advanced as you go along. Hope this helps!

Glad to hear you are expanding your horizons! I started working with Linux about 2 years ago and took the L+ shortly after starting...I will say it (both parts) were very hard. It's a mix of multiple choice and fill in the blank, sometimes asking for absolute paths (ex: /proc/cpuinfo), so learning the FHS is a big part of not just the exam but linux in general. The exam is more broad than deep so if you're new to linux then there is a lot to learn...good luck!
