2. Other distributions, desktops, and window managers are available, and we encourage you to
explore further on your own. Even if some of the information here is specific to a particular
distribution and even a particular version of a distribution, what you learn here should help you
navigate a strange distribution.
Because this tutorial simply aims to help you get started, you won’t find information on more
advanced tasks like recompiling your kernel or installing software. We recommend our
no-charge Linux (LPI) certification self-study guides for deeper information.
Linux Professional Institute (LPI) Certification Courses
They allow to increase your knowledge of Linux and prepare for the LPI Certification exams.
The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) certifies Linux® system administrators at three levels:
Certification level 1 (Junior level, or LPIC-1)
Certification level 2 (Advanced level, or LPIC-2)
Certification level 3 (Senior level, or LPIC-3)
To attain certification level 1, you must pass LPIC-1 exams 101 and 102.
To attain certification level 2, you must pass LPIC-2 exams 201 and 202.
To attain certification level 3, you must pass LPIC-3 exam 301 (“core”) and have an active
certification level 2. You may also need to pass additional specialty exams at the senior level.
Before you take the exams, review the LPI-oriented articles and tutorials on developerWorks,
designed as study guides for each exam topic.
The main tutorials are the following:
Foundational concepts (the 101- and 102-series articles, which correspond to LPIC-1
certification)
Intermediate to advanced topics (the 201- and 202-series tutorials, which correspond to
LPIC-2 certification)
Expert topics (the 301-series tutorials, which correspond to LPIC-3 certification)
There are plenty of useful information on the IBM Developerworks website. It is a very good
resource.
