    I'll be taking the Linux+ XK0-006 exam this week. I have to admit that my Linux experience isn't on par with my Windows experience, but I do know a lot about hardware, software, scripting, security, networking, IAM, etc.

    Do you have any advice that might help me prepare for the Linux+ exam? I have access to the CertMaster Learn, Labs, and Study materials. I also have access to the Instructor PDF and the slide decks for the class. Any sage advice, tips and tricks, "must-know" topics, or hints you can provide (without violating the NDA) would be greatly appreciated.

    With the L+ class I teach I first start off my students with the LPI Linux Essentials objectives (first 6 of 17 classes). The remaining 11 classes all focus on the more advanced L+ topics.

    We use the Sybex+ book, which is decent though not very good. It's gotten progressively worse since the XK0-004 because the author's only adding bits instead of also removing unneeded content, nor rewriting the book.

    I have labs, quizes and practice questions in my Github repo. All of them self-made, no AI kruft, no copyright issues -> https://github.com/Unixerius/XK0-006

    Jason Eckert has excellent books on Cengage.

    +3 on Eckert's materials. That dude's brain was programmed by Torvalds, I bet. LOL

    Linux for me has been elusive. I remember trying to get myself around to take the old RHCE back in the day (still have the book in near pristine condition). And since then, I keep telling myself, "this time, this year"...

    But, I'm still doing the Azure thing - when my time allows...

    Good luck on your test, Greg. You'll do great, I'm quite sure.
