Overview
For many years, Linux has dominated the server install base in the business world – and it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Linux’s popularity has led to a greater need for information technology (IT) professionals who can manage servers that run some form of the Linux kernel.
The Official CompTIA® Linux+® courseware builds on your existing experience with systems operations and administration to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to configure, manage, operate, and troubleshoot a Linux environment by using security best practices, scripting, and automation.
Prerequisites
To ensure your success in this course, you should have at least foundational experience with general systems administration procedures, some hands-on exposure to one or more Linux distributions, as well as knowledge of computing hardware and basic networking and cybersecurity concepts.
You can obtain this level of skills and knowledge by taking the following official CompTIA courses:
- The Official CompTIA® A+® Core 1 and 2 Student Guide (Exams 220-1001 and 220-1002)
- The Official CompTIA® Network+® Student Guide (Exam N10-007)
- The Official CompTIA® Security+® Student Guide (Exam SY0-501)
