It??™s considered vendor-neutral because
the exam isn??™t based on one particular vendor??™s hardware or software. This is somewhat
unique in the information technology industry. Many IT certification programs are
centered on one particular vendor??™s hardware or software, such as Microsoft??™s Certified
System Engineer (MCSE) certification, Novell??™s Certified Novell Engineer (CNE)
certification, or Red Hat??™s Certified Engineer (RHCE) certification.
The Linux+ certification, on the other hand, is designed to verify your knowledge
and skills with the Linux operating system in general, not on any one particular
distribution. According to CompTIA:
Professionals holding the CompTIA Linux+ credential can explain fundamental
management of Linux systems from the command line, demonstrate knowledge
of user administration, understand file permissions, software configurations, and
management of Linux-based clients, server systems, and security.
To verify your knowledge, CompTIA requires you to take the Linux+ exam to earn
your certification. By passing this exam, you demonstrate that you have the skills and
knowledge equivalent to a Linux system administrator who has 6??“12 months of
on-the-job experience.
