Isn't the first one for beginners and the second one for people on a specific course? So read whichever one of those applies to you.

Otherwise read the start of both and then decide which one makes more sense and start with that.

Assuming that you're a true Linux newcomer, I'd probably suggest reading Linux for Dummies first. Then move on to the CompTIA study guide which, I would assume, covers more advanced topics.

Hi.
Code:
+1 hands on
Use the first to look stuff up, as needed while reading the second?

Or, speed up some CBT Nuggets in VLC... and, have fun!

actually it is just a duplicate of that thread: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...tu-4175685761/

Instead of asking just start to read what you have .....
