Linux Professional Institute (LPI) has released Linux Essentials 2.0, with new exam objectives and updated learning materials.
Version 2.0 is a major release that requires revised exam preparation. However, LPI notes, version 1.6 will be available for six more months. “The most important changes include updates to Linux distribution and commonly used open source tools, as well as the transition to systemd, journald, and iproute2,” says Fabian Thorns, Director of Product Development at LPI.
As always, LPI says, the Linux Essentials exam “gives you the opportunity to demonstrate a solid foundation in working with a Linux system and important open source applications.” The key topic areas covered are:
- Linux Operating System and Open Source Software
- Command Line Basics
- Data Processing
- Linux System Administration Basics
- Security and File System Permissions
The exam is currently available in English, with translations into French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish expected within the next few months.
