I also have the A+. Lots of stuff on printers, very easy to overlook.
Taken lots of practice exams, definately use the exam cram... Yes, there
is no Linux connection. But then it will certify (as designed) that you
have attained 6 months of knowledge as a PC tech. A good break in, but
not nirvana. Check the online brain dumps for latest stuff, i.e.,

I am A+ certified from COMPTIA the only problem with it is that the exam
is proprietary all the hardware is intell stuff or made for intell and
all the software test covers is microsdicks stuff they were going to add
linux to the test but billy steped in as microsoft is the largest
supporter of comptia they cancelled adding linux to the A+ and came out
with a seperate test that cost $800.00. But in answer to your question
about a good book I used the EXAM CRAM books they were very good in the
lessons and covering the test questions. But it is all microdick stuff,
thats all the A+ is.
