LPI 101. An introduction to Linux administration

Schedule notification

Categories: Linux (LPI), Linux administration

The basics of using Linux as an administrator and the fundamental tools an administrator needs : console, commands, text editors, system architecture, permissions, system setup, configuration.
LPIC-1
Training is authorized by Linux Professional Institute

This training is a first part of our LPIC-1 certification path – the suggested continuation is the LPI-102 training. Learning material covered by these two training courses allows to pass the LPIC-1 exam.

To persons interested in acquiring the complete knowledge required by LPIC-1 exam from the very basics, we recommend our long course Linux Administrator. It not only covers all the material covered by LPI 101 and LPI 102 training courses – it has also a module on selected network services, and costs less than the two training courses combined.

This training is equivalent to the first four days of the Linux Administrator course.

Duration

5 days
