makes Linux systems work, as well as the confidence to explore larger,
more complex source-code-only projects.
Free Linux System Administration

The system administrator's role is to keep the Linux system up and running and to take all the necessary measures to prevent system problems and crashes. These measures, may be automatic, or manual. This course will teach you topics you need to understand and use as a system administrator, such as shell programming using Bash (the Bourne Again Shell) and other simple programming techniques such as sed, awk, Expect, and Tcl/Tk. This course all teaches you user administration, time services, boot services, compiling the Linux kernel, kernel modules, building packages, and burning your own Linux CD.

based on the objectives for LPI exams 101 and 102. Each chapter begins
with a brief overview of the objective followed by a more detailed
explanation and several practice questions. This is a work in progress.

part of the LPI Study Guide effort please contact the author to adopt a
chapter.

Institute Certification 2 exam, or the LPIC-2 exam. You will need to
have at least 2 years of practical experience with Unix, preferably
