Linux+ Certification Update
As promised I wanted to give you some information on the update of the Linux+ exams. Officially there are minor changes and I wanted to give you a list of those items in case you are planning to that the exams. Just as a note the Linux+ certification is run by CompTIA and certification organization that has a number of other industry standard certifications like Network+, A+, and Security+. Another organization, the Linux Professionals Institute (LPI), also has certifications like the Linux Essentials, LPIC-1, LPIC-2, and LPIC-3. https://www.lpi.org/certification/get-certified-lpi/
If you take the Linux+ you can send you information to LPI and get the LPIC-1 certification without having to also take it from them since the exams cover the same information. http://greg.porter.name/wordpress/?p=1128 The modifications to the CompTIA Linux+ exam objectives (LX0-101) include:
Adding objectives pertaining to systemd, Upstar, LVM, GRUB 2, and ext4;
Deleting LILO from list of terms; and
Adding bash_history to list of terms.
Modifications to the CompTIA Linux+ exam objectives (LX0-102) include:
Adding Environmental Variable TZ to list of terms, and
Adding an objective pertaining to IPv6
The Linux+ aligns with the LPIC-1 objectives which you can find here: http://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-1_Objectives_V4
