About CompTIA Linux+™

CompTIA Linux+ was launched in 2001 to set industry standards for individuals working with the open source operating system, Linux. In 2004, CompTIA released a revised exam, which covers approximately 90 percent of the problems that technicians, help desk staff, and system administrators routinely encounter with commercial Linux applications from Novell’s SUSE Linux, Red Hat, Mandrake, and TurboLinux.

The current exam gives greater weight to security, and tests a candidate's ability to implement security options on client systems, configure security-related files, and grasp common security practices.
