Eckert's LINUX+ and LPIC-1 GUIDE TO LINUX CERTIFICATION, 6th EDITION, empowers you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed on CompTIA's Linux+ (XKO-005) certification exam and the Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 (101-500 and 102-500) certification exams, as well as in your information technology career. The book covers the latest Linux distributions, as well as virtualization, containerization, cloud orchestration and enterprise storage. Comprehensive coverage also addresses key job-related services and cloud technologies, including firewalls, FTP, NFS, Samba, Apache, DNS, DHCP, NTP, Postfix, PostgreSQL, SSH, VNC, RDP, Docker and Kubernetes. Appendices allow you to apply your Linux knowledge to macOS and FreeBSD. Hands-on projects give you practice using the latest Fedora and Ubuntu Linux distributions and can be performed on either a Windows PC (Intel or ARM) or macOS PC (Intel or Apple Silicon).

At the heart of the open source software movement lies Linux - an operating system whose rapid growth has shocked the world by demonstrating the nature and power of the open source model. However, as Linux continues to grow, so must the number of Linux-educated users, administrators, developers, and advocates. We now find ourselves in a time in which Linux education is of great importance to the information technology industry. Key to demonstrating Linux skills and knowledge is the certification process. This book, Linux+ and LPIC-1 Guide to Linux Certification, uses carefully constructed examples, questions, and practical exercises to prepare readers with the necessary information to achieve the latest version of the sought-after Linux+ certification from CompTIA, as well as the latest version of the LPIC-1 certification from the Linux Professional Institute (LPI). Whatever your ultimate goal, you can be assured that reading this book in combination with study, creativity, and practice will make the open source world come alive for you as it has for many others.

Intended Audience:
Simply put, this book is intended for those who want to learn the Linux operating system and master the topics tested on the Linux+ certification exam from CompTIA or the LPIC-1 certification exams from LPI. It does not assume any prior knowledge of Linux. Although the topics introduced in this book and associated certification exams are geared toward systems administration, they are also well suited for those who will use or develop programs for Linux systems, or want to pursue a career in cloud computing, supercomputing, cybersecurity, web development, cloud development, or Internet of Things (IoT) technology, where Linux knowledge is a prerequisite.
