Our company found ourselves having to support more and more vertical apps running on Linux servers. The problem was we did not possess any real working knowledge of Linux. So, my employer sent me to the CompTIA Linux+ training class, primarily because it was the only Linux training available in our geographic area at the time. One nice thing about the class is that it is not distribution specific.
The Linux+ class provided enough hands on training in the basics of Linux to get me started. After completing the class I no longer felt like I was stumbling around in the dark. Armed with a new basic understanding of Linux I felt confident enough to load Linux on my machines at home and start to really dig into Linux on my own. I'm still not an expert, but I've come a tremendous distance in a short time thanks to the Solid foundation that the CompTIA class provided me.
I cannot say the CompTIA Linux Training is the best, but it is a good place to start if you are new to Linux.
