You'll want to use a Debian flavored and a RHEL flavored Distro, as the exam touches on both.

I would recommend Ubuntu (Debian based) and CENTOS (RHEL based).

Depending on your experience with Linux, I also highly recommend:

Books: CompTIA Linux+ Exam LX0-101 and Exam LX0-102; Linux in a Nutshell 7th ed

I am using:

Debian 7
CentOS 6.4

for my preparations. That way you are covering both package management flavours as mentioned above.

I just passed this not too long ago and I used Linux Mint for about 90% of my studying/labbing and CentOS for the other 10%. Good luck!
