Well I passed it, after never using Linux before I started with using SUSE 10.1 and moved on to Fedora and then on to the more user friendly Ubuntu.. Which is a realy good distro to learn off of. I recommend this course it covers the basics Very well, Know your Samba server topics which stummped me a little beware this test is not a gimme.
Pretty Basic Exam

Like most Comptia exams, Linux+ covers the basics and covers them well. Used the Sybex Linux+ book to study for XK0-002.
XK0-002 is harder than XK0-001

CompTIA recommends 12 months experience rather than 6 for the new exam. Most of the Linux+ cert books might help you fill in the gaps, but you are going to need some experience for the new exam. Linux+ is no longer a free lunch.
Know your networking configs

The exam was pretty much what I expected. I was surprised that detailed network configuration questions were presented. Also know how to setup a cron job. Other than that, know the basics and you should do well.
Just covers the basics

No trickiness in this test, just straightforward questions about the basics of Linux OS, hardware, and networking.
Not Difficult

The recommended requirements of A+ I would say is optional, but 6 months+ experience is very useful. I have 3+ years Linux experience (server & desktop) and found most questions were based on day to day experience.
Experience is the key

Passed the exam, wasn't too hard. Have 2 yrs. Linux experience and use it every day which helped a lot. Used the Linux+ Certification Bible, John Wiley and Sons, Trevor Kay, 2002. Could have passed without the book!
