Hardware and System Configuration Systems Operation and Maintenance Security Linux Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Automation and Scripting Linux is a UNIX-based operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the help of developers around the world. Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code is free. Because of this, Linux is viewed by many organizations and companies as an excellent, low-cost, secure alternative to expensive OSs, such as Microsoft Windows. The CompTIA Linux+ exam tests a candidate's understanding and familiarity with the Linux Kernel. As the Linux server market share continues to grow, so too does demand for qualified and certified Linux administrators.
This book didn't feel like it was designed & bundled with the main book by the same people (it was). Many questions I don't remember seeing at all in the main book. Many felt too difficult for the test, but hey.. I haven't taken it yet. I did like that the first 5 chapters were collectively tested in the final 6th chapter, which I tested much better in. Until I finish my exam (tomorrow) and get my results in 4-5 months (it's a 005 beta test), this book is a solid 4 stars. +/-1 depending on my results then.
Do not get discouraged if you do not do well on these practice exams. I would say this book is useful for keeping you sharp. But I only scored in the 50%ish range on these practice tests, and yet easily passed the Linux+ in 2020.
