From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

LPIC-1 resources? (lemmy.ml)

Hi :)

I need the LPIC-1 certificate for a new job and I’m looking for resources to study for it.

I’m not a sysadmin nor did I ever study anything in that field, but I work with Linux daily and have all my projects at home running on Linux. In total, I’ve been using unix-based systems for more than 20 years.

Still, I’d like to make sure I’m getting through the tests the first time. Can you recommend any video courses? (I think video is easiest for me) Other tips for different resources are appreciated as well :)

Thanks!

Which certificates were they generally after instead?

Ex-hiring manager here.

We preferred certs that were tied to specific software solutions.

So the A+, Linux+, Sec+, LPIC, etc. were fine but those are generalized.

We looked for Red Hat certs, vmware, aws, etc. because that was the software we used.

Of course general Linux skills are sought after, but less training was required for the specific certs to a certain sense.

Thanks, that’s good info and makes a lot of sense.
