About this series

This series of tutorials helps you learn Linux system administration tasks. The topics mirror those of the Linux Professional Institute's LPIC-1: System Administrator Certification exams. You can use the tutorials to prepare for certification, or you can use them to learn about Linux.

There are two exams for LPIC-1 certification: Exam 101 and Exam 102, and you must pass both to attain LPIC-1 certification. Each exam has several topics, and each topic has several objectives. Each learning path covers one Exam 101 topic, which in turn covers the objectives of the topic in individual tutorials.

This roadmap corresponds to version 5.0 (October 29, 2018) of the objectives of the LPIC-1 exam for LPIC-1 exam 101. We are updating tutorials that were previously published at version 4.0 (April 15th, 2015) objectives. Such tutorials are identified as version 4 in the following table. You can check the LPI objectives to identify version 5 objectives that may not be covered in the older tutorials.
