Linux Plus

Linux is a free operating system based on the kernel (the core or nucleus of an operating system) that was created by Linus Torvalds with the help from developers from around the world. Linux is supposedly very stable, and rivals the stability of it biggest commercial competitors, Unix or NT operating systems.

Linux is also versatile because it can be installed on anything from a network server to a home PC, and at a much lower cost than other vendor software packages. The versatility, cost effectiveness and stability of Linux have all contributed to its increasing popularity. Many large corporations around the world have started implementing Linux as a cost saving measure. As the migration continues to Linux, IT professionals and managers will need to have the necessary knowledge and skills to support the Linux operating system.

For those looking to potentially work in a Linux environment, it is probably wise to earn a Linux+ certification. The Linux+ certification is a new standard of competency for technicians with six-months experience installing, operating and maintaining Linux operating systems. The certification validates technical competency and provides a broad awareness of Linux operating systems. Those holding Linux+ certification demonstrate critical knowledge of installation, operation, administration and troubleshooting services.



Ultimately, earning a linux+ certification will help make your IT resume attractive to potential employers. The competition in the IT job market is intense these days, and certifications such as Linux+ allow employers to be more confident about your abilities, and take out the risk associate with hiring new, untested people.
