Linux+ take old objectives, or new?
 

Linux+ with the old objectives XK0-001, is available until 31-July-2005. The XK0-002 is already out.

I think the XK0-001 is easier, especially if you know your hardware (which I do). But the XK0-002 is more relevant more admin stuff, more security, more up to date.

I doubt employers know the difference.

well i guess its up to you really ... The employer only sees on the resume that you have Linux+
Certification, not what test you actually wrote.
