Where to start?

[RBJohns () clemson edu]

As a Computer Science student focusing on network security, I know that I need certifications.  I am looking at 
Security+, Linux+, CISSP, and Certified Ethical Hacker as a start.  While looking for training material I have realized 
that there are many different ways to go.  Does anyone have any suggestions on study material?  Should I use a book?  
If so, which ones are good?  Should I go for computer-based training?  Any suggestions and/or input would be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks.
