LPI 201. Linux architecture and low-level configuration

Schedule notification

Categories: Linux administration, Linux (LPI)

The fundamental topics in system architecture and low-level Linux configuration. This training is designed for administrators and users who want to broaden their knowledge and familiarity with Linux. Through practical exercises, we teach topics such as kernel compilation, system boot procedure, management of devices, filesystems and disks, network configuration (including DNS servers) and backups.
LPIC-2
This is a preparatory training for the LPI 201 exam, which is organized by Linux Professional Institute. Passing this exam and the LPI 202 exam allows one to acquire the LPIC-2 certificate – Advanced Level Linux Certification.

We offer this training, combined with the LPI 202 training, as an alternate path for our classical LPIC-2 training path (the Linux Administrator course and a supplementary course), for persons interested only in the LPIC-2 certification who already have some familiarity with Linux administration.

For persons interested in a more in-depth look at the topics covered during this training, we recommend the Advanced Linux Administrator course, which provides a thorough coverage of several advanced technologies.
