The new Linux+ is a great exam!

[Lee McWhorter]

Really enjoy the great new Linux+ from CompTIA. Of course, I say that about all the certs.

It is a good one. Seems practical and relevant.

Thanks for the feedback Damon. It seems to be a popular exam right now. Linux skills are important.

I just passed XK0-004 today (teaching it in a week and a half) and agree with the assessment. If you can pass this test, no doubt you know all the things you need to know to effectively administrate Linux systems in an environment. I'm happy to see these tests become reflective assessments of modern IT skills, and I felt like the new exam follows in the footsteps of the 1001 revamp, itself a big change.

I'm still on the fence concerning the simulations, at least one of them frustrated me extensively (and I've got 3+ years of working with Linux of various flavors).

Well done, CompTIA. Love the focus on practical assessment.

That is great feedback John! Congratulations on the cert as well! Hope your class goes well!
