Linux+ passed today!!
Passed the LX0-102 today with score 590.
It took me 70 days to prepare from scratch and passed the two exams - LX0-101 on 5/20/13, LX0-102 today.
The reference books I used are as follows:
LPIC-1/Comptia Linux+ Certificate Exam Guide (Exams LPIC-1/LX0-101 & LX0-102), by Robb Tracy
Comptia Linux+ Complete Study Guide (Exam LX0-101, Exam LX0-102), by Roderick W Smith
LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell - A Desktop Quick Reference, 3rd Edition, by Adam Haeder, et al.
I practice on Suse, Fedora, Ubuntu installed on VirtualBox hosted by a Dell Desktop running Win 7 Pro 64-bit.
I failed for each test on first try. Frustrating
Anyway I'm glad I make it through

Congrats!Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. -

Which distro would you use for the exam if you could only choose one? -

Isn't that sort of the point of the exam, you can't just choose one. I have worked a lot on Redhat types of systems, but have hardly no experience on Debian like Linux and the exam covers both. -

OK, I didn't realize that. I was thinking more like when I took the CCNA exam, it was based on a certain switch and certain router at a certain software revision. -

Congrats, those are no easy certs by any means. Typing out commands with arguments without the man pages is tricky.

Would you say that Linux + would now allow him to land a Jr. Linux Admin job now?

Congrats yuanyong! Welcome to the few, the proud....j/k, it's not like RHCE but it's still a respectable entry level cert!
@xkaijinx, Yes, I would definitely say that the L+ would land him a linux admin job...I landed one without it but was required to get it within 2 months of starting. From that point on I fell in love with linux and I feel that not everyone is cut out for it. Even for future positions it will make you stand out above the rest and I can say this from experience. -

In my case, it will help me keep my job. I work DOD. The last job wanted Solaris 10 System Administration Certification. This job wants Linux+. I can't seem to convince anyone, that the Sol 10 is enough. Afterall, I just stepped right into this job and started working, but they want that paper.
