About the Book
Whether you've decided to earn the Linux Professional Institute's Server Professional certification or you simply want to learn more about Linux administration, you've made a great choice. Right now, for a thousand reasons, Linux administration skills are opening doors to some of the hottest job markets on earth. And with the ongoing explosive growth of the cloud computing world - the vast majority of which is being built with Linux - the scope of the opportunities will only increase.
"Teach yourself Linux Administration and prepare for the LPIC-1 certification exams" is complete. Every concept, principle, process, and resource that might make an appearance on the exam is fully represented. But if you want to really "get" this stuff, you'll have to roll up your sleeves, open up a terminal, and just do it. To help, you will find suggestions for practical real-world tasks along with "test-yourself" quizzes at the end of each chapter. Some of those exercises might require more time than it takes you to read the chapters they're based on. Fixing "dumb" mistakes could take even more time. This is as it should be. It's called "learning" and "experience."
