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 CompTIA® Linux+® course 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.
