Passed Linux+

Hi
I passed the exam today. I have been using linux on my home computer
for almost a year now and studied for this exam over the last 3 or so months.

The resources I used was the Sybex book, which I thought was very good, but
it didn't cover everything... but the things that were covered were explained well.
I also used the technotes here... but I did find them hard to read for some reason..
I also googled alot.

Just wanted to say thanks for the resources on this site, it was helpful.

Hasn't Ubuntu been 64bit for quite a while? Correct me if I am wrong. I remember having 64bit Ubuntu back with 7.04, maybe that has changed.

Technotes posted here are outstanding, and at least in my view, not hard to follow at all. Definitely a great resource to prepare for future cert tests...
Congradulations on your success

Are you working in the IT field or you took the test to switch to IT?

Congrats on the pass! This was a tough exam, as CompTIA tests go.

What's next on the agenda for you?

most distros have a 64bit release. heck, you can even get hercules and run a 64bit mainframe linux distro for free now.

I thought so, that's why I found the 64bit comment odd.

I believe the message was directly at the Mint distro mentioned by Dynamik. But it also has a 64-bit version. It just seems to lack stability.

The 2004 Linux+ exam will be in effect until CompTIA retires it, and that will not happen until a month or two after the new 2009 version goes live. 2009 is supposed to be live by the end of the year according to news that was released a few months ago.
