You should be familiar with the following:
?– PC cases and power supplies
?– Motherboards
?– Expansion slots and expansion boards
?– CPUs and memory
?– Storage devices such as hard drives, floppy drives, and optical drives
?– Video boards and monitors
?– Peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and digital cameras
?– Basic networking principles
?– Common networking topologies (such as the star, bus, and ring)
?– Common networking components such as NICs, cables, routers, and hubs/
switches
?– Common networking protocols (such as IP, IPX, TCP, UDP, and NetBIOS)
?– Common networking services, such as FTP servers, Web servers, and mail
servers
If possible, I strongly recommend that you have your A+ certification and your
Network+ certification under your belt (or have equivalent experience in the field)
before starting this book. These two certification programs will provide you with
the hardware and networking background you need to be successful in your Linux+
certification program.
If you have this background, you??™re ready to roll! Let??™s next discuss how this book
is organized to accomplish its two main goals.
How This Book Is Organized
I love CompTIA certification programs.
