Certification: Looking at the New Server+ Certification, Part Two

The Server+ certification from CompTIA is designed to certify administrators with introductory-level skills working with server hardware and software. Last month, I examined the first three domains and objectives to be found among the 80 multiple-choice questions (90 minutes to answer, with a passing score of 615) on the exam now known as SKO-002. This month, the objectives beneath the remaining domains are listed, and comments about each (or references to where you can find more information on each of those topics) is given.

Book Review: Moving from Windows to Linux and Linux in the Workplace
Cameron Laird
These are hard reviews to write. I haven't found a way yet to be objective about the idea of moving from Windows to Linux. With most reviews, I'm confident of the way I focus on the books' concepts, style, organization, depth, and polish. I've generally talked over my judgments with enough experts in the particular field to know that I'm passing on reliable information. I haven't found a way to treat Moving from Windows to Linux and Linux in the Workplace so dispassionately, though. Lots of desktop computing administators and decision-makers don't begin to question the proposition that Windows is the only viable desktop platform, let alone the best one.
