In concert with the industry's need for deeper Linux expertise at the foundation level, CompTIA Linux+ will be certifying an equivalent experience of 6 to 12 months with Linux, up from the current experience level of 6 months. The individual who passes the Linux+ 2004 exam will demonstrate the knowledge mastery required to provide basic installation, operation, security, administration, and troubleshooting services for the Linux operating system on workstations and servers.

"The revised certification will be a valid predictor of success in foundational Linux applications, and we urge employers to count this as a definite plus when promoting from within and evaluating new hires," said Gene Salois, vice president Certification, CompTIA. "Those holding a Linux+ certification should be able to perform better and with higher productivity than those who have not trained for and earned this foundational-Linux certificate."

"The objectives of the exam have been extensively revised based on a global analysis of required job skills. The most notable differences between the current and future exam are the additions of sections on security and documentation and a significant decrease in the emphasis on hardware.

"The Linux job tasks performed today by help desk personnel, support technicians, entry level administrators, and database and application developers require a higher level of knowledge compared to 2001, when CompTIA Linux+ was introduced," said Yvonne Keith, CompTIA Linux+ certification program manager. "The revised exam is designed to build Linux capabilities for today's job tasks, and to prepare individuals for success as they train for and earn more advanced vendor-neutral and vendor-specific Linux certifications"
