Overview

The GNU/Linux Administration Manuals are designed to accompany practical courses preparing for the LPI examinations.

Those with less experience, however, should not be discouraged from using this manual, if (and only if) they are willing to spend extra time catching up on the prerequisite background skills and knowledge; a challenging task, but not an impossible one. Further references and examples are provided for the various uses of commands, as well as exercises and accompanying answers demonstrating exam-like problem-solving. All are optional with those most recommended either discussed or referenced in the manual's body. Naturally, LPIC-2 builds upon the knowledge gained from successful completion of LPIC-1.
