Know your hardware	mhenning on Friday, July 18, 2008

The exam is heavy on hardware and applications. Be familiar with config files and working around in the CLI. This exam is not very in-depth. If you have your A+, play around with Linux for a while and you should have no problems. It's more important to know which applications do what than to know how to use them.

db_598@sbcglobal.net Good TEST	db_598 on Thursday, September 28, 2006

Well I passed it, after never using Linux before I started with using SUSE 10.1 and moved on to Fedora and then on to the more user friendly Ubuntu.. Which is a realy good distro to learn off of. I recommend this course it covers the basics Very well, Know your Samba server topics which stummped me a little beware this test is not a gimme.

Pretty Basic Exam	indigo258 on Monday, March 20, 2006

Like most Comptia exams, Linux+ covers the basics and covers them well. Used the Sybex Linux+ book to study for XK0-002.

XK0-002 is harder than XK0-001	milliamp on Thursday, October 13, 2005

CompTIA recommends 12 months experience rather than 6 for the new exam. Most of the Linux+ cert books might help you fill in the gaps, but you are going to need some experience for the new exam. Linux+ is no longer a free lunch.

Know your networking configs	Stealthy on Wednesday, December 29, 2004

The exam was pretty much what I expected. I was surprised that detailed network configuration questions were presented. Also know how to setup a cron job. Other than that, know the basics and you should do well.

Just covers the basics	jeetkuen on Friday, October 29, 2004

No trickiness in this test, just straightforward questions about the basics of Linux OS, hardware, and networking.

Not Difficult	cczitsom on Friday, January 02, 2004

The recommended requirements of A+ I would say is optional, but 6 months+ experience is very useful. I have 3+ years Linux experience (server & desktop) and found most questions were based on day to day experience.

Experience is the key	MrIT on Thursday, December 18, 2003

Passed the exam, wasn't too hard. Have 2 yrs. Linux experience and use it every day which helped a lot. Used the Linux+ Certification Bible, John Wiley and Sons, Trevor Kay, 2002. Could have passed without the book!
