Linux+ XK0-006 vs. 005...?

[Mitch Garvis]

Fellow trainers, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. While I have used Linux for many years, I have never been overly proficient. I am taking the exam tomorrow, and I want to ask... how different will this exam be from the previous version? Is there anything I should be worried about? I ask because I had previously prepared for the previous version but never got around to it, and now I am nervous going into the exam.

Thanks in advance!

Given your background and experience, I don't think you're going to have much of a problem with 006. Pretty sure you brushed up on containers (Docker/Kubernetes/etc) and all the fun that entails, as well as AI topics. I think you'll be fine.

Good luck and have fun with the exam.

Wait a second... there are IT topics in Linux+?? I must have missed that

For the record: You are right, I brushed up on Docker and stuff. I did get one AI question. I had NO fun with the exam, was 100% convinced when I pressed END that I had failed. How I actually passed (and by a decent margin) I will never know! But alas, I have to teach the course this week, so I suppose failure was NOT an option

Man, with what you've taken, you passing is the smart money. Did you go through @jasoneckert 's TTT ahead of it?

Congrats on passing. That's another one!

That's probably why I'm taking so much time to study for the version 8 exam. The last thing I want to do is fail a beginner exam after years of working on Linux since 2007.

I've now passed 77 exams, but please remember that until a few years ago I was nearly exclusively a Microsoft guy. Yes, I played with Linux 25 years ago, and I use Kali and Parrot for cybersecurity stuff... but I never managed the disks or or users or containers or users (I mean managing users in a day to day environment, not just creating accounts). I also haven't used Linux servers too much since 2004.

And no, I did not use Jason's material... but I should have!
