Comptia Linux+ or LPIC-1??
Sorry but I'm confused. It seems that either you can take Linux+ and it takes care of the first exam requirement for LPIC-1, or you take two exams for LPIC-1. Is there any recommendations on what to take first?
I'm a year into schooling which has me taking classes in administrating CentOS via the command line. I currently do not run Linux at home so that is as far as my knowledge goes.

That means when you pass the requirements for Linux+, you pass the requirements for LPIC-1 and two Novell certs. Two tests, four certs.The easiest thing to be in the world is you.

Wow, so if I were to pass Linux+, I'd get LPIC-1?? I see LPIC-1 is two exams also so I just want to be sure. -

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll work on getting some VMs setup. -

OptionsEV42TMAN Member Posts: 256as others have mentioned, if you do linux+ you'll get LPIC-1. But the detail that gets left out is if you do LPIC-1 you DON'T get Linux+ so don't do it backwards.Current Certification Exam: ???
