CompTIA Linux+ (2010 Objectives): Part 2
Linux+ Part 2 dives into the advanced operational and security skills employers actually demand—file permissions, user management, and system hardening. If you’re serious about Linux infrastructure roles, this isn’t optional; it’s the second half of your credibility.
AIU.ac Verdict: Ideal for IT professionals mid-way through Linux+ prep or already managing Linux systems who need structured, exam-aligned depth. The 2010 objectives are slightly dated, so verify current exam requirements before enrolling if you’re sitting the latest CompTIA version.
What This Course Covers
This module tackles user and group administration, file system permissions (including ACLs and SELinux contexts), process management, and package administration across multiple distributions. You’ll work through practical scenarios: configuring sudo access, managing disk quotas, troubleshooting permission issues, and securing user accounts—all skills that translate directly to production environments.
The course emphasises hands-on labs within Pluralsight’s sandbox environment, letting you experiment without risking live systems. Veronica Henry structures each topic around real-world Linux administration workflows, bridging the gap between exam objectives and the day-to-day tasks you’ll face in junior sysadmin or DevOps support roles.
Who Is This Course For?
Ideal for:
- Linux+ candidates in exam prep: Completing Part 1 and need structured coverage of Part 2 objectives before sitting the certification exam.
- Junior Linux sysadmins: Already managing systems but want formal certification to validate skills and unlock senior or specialised roles.
- IT support professionals transitioning to infrastructure: Moving from helpdesk into Linux administration and need foundational depth in user management and security.
May not suit:
- Absolute Linux beginners: Part 2 assumes comfort with command line basics and Linux fundamentals; start with Part 1 or Linux Essentials first.
- Candidates pursuing current CompTIA versions: The 2010 objectives are legacy; if sitting the latest Linux+ exam, verify alignment or consider updated courses.
Frequently Asked Questions
