Linux Professional Institute Certification Prep - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

SecretMethod70 · 04-28-2003, 06:03 AM

I was reminded about this by the thread "certification" which asks about different Linux certifications. I decided to post this into it's own thread however since it has the potential to be much more useful out in the open. I recommend these tutorials to anyone using or starting to use Linux. Their skill level as rated by IBM developerWorks starts from "introductory" and goes to "intermediate."

Quote:

By the end of this series of tutorials , you'll have the knowledge you need to become a Linux Systems Administrator and will be ready to attain an LPIC Level 1 certification from the <a href="http://www.lpi.org/">Linux Professional Institute</a>. Even for those not preparing for the certification exam, these tutorial are useful for Linux users who want to build stronger Linux skills.

Thanks SM70. I've been looking for these pages since the resurrection. I went thru the first one and wanted to finish. Did you also post a lengthy compilation of stuff about your Linux favorites? It was a big help for a beginning user/adminwannabe.
