Good roll-up. Sad to hear about the Linux Foundation exams, I was actually looking at that for work. I have the LPI Linux Essentials which was very easy to pass. One thought about LPIC-3. I was under the impression reading their website that you only have to pass 1 of the 4 exams offered in a specialization, not all of them.

It will give you the tools you need in a production evn and will peak your interest in other areas of linux. If anyone is thinking about it and if I was doing it again, LPIC1 and then do a cloud cert, then go do LPIC2 and learn Ansible

LPI Linux Essentials is an awesome introductory certification, the preparation guide book I used has about 900 pages and if you study thoroughly you will get a good understanding of Linux foundation principles and even bash scripting. LPiC-1 picks up right where LPI Linux Essentials leaves and goes in-depth with configuring most system aspects. Again count on studying ~900 pages of concentrated material. What I also like about studying Linux is that you gain understanding about multiple crucial side topics: DNS, DHCP, routing, encryption, regular expressions, bash scripting, boot process, filesystems, IS security, FTP, ssh, databases, web servers, troubleshooting and performance tuning. I am currently finishig preparation for the LPIC-1 exam. Would be interesting if you could cover some of LPI DevOps engineer certification prep.

The exam was not that tough, but I got disconnected after some time because of all of this issues..The worst part is I did not even get a proper response from the PSI TECH SUPPORT team or from the LFCS SUPPORT team.

When I took and passed the CompTIA Linux+ exams eight years ago, I earned three certifications for the price of one: CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI, LPIC-1, and SUSE CLA (Certified Linux Administrator). Unfortunately, my LPIC-1 certification expired, so I will have to take the exams again. I started my journey into the Linux world by earning the LPI Linux Essentials certification; it is a great certification to get you started in Linux. For the CompTIA PenTest+ exam, knowing Linux is a must. I'm looking forward to earn the LPIC-1, LPIC-2, and LPIC-3 certifications respectively as a personal learning goal. Those certifications are not in high demand here in Puerto Rico.

Excellent video reflecting good overview of the certifications. Enjoyed watching and listening it and surely Shawn knows how to get the message across. I am gonna just make few comments and I hope people do not take this wrong way. Firstly, I am focused on Linux System Administration (not Linux Network Engineer, or DevOps) and my observation suggests pretty much most of the Linux Sysadmin jobs are rooted into Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Hence I am focused on their first certification which is RHCSA Exam 200. In this video Shawn asked the audiences what sort of videos he can make to help people like us who want to land into Sysadmin job? I would kindly make request to Shawn to make a video focusing Red Hat Enterprise Linux Exam 200 please. There should not be any issues because Red Hat has developer program where people can freely download and install RHEL. I am focused on Red Hat Version 8 (Ootpa). Also I have installed CentOs and when I issue command like " cat /etc/centos-release" the output is always Red Hat 8.9 per se. So yes, in my opinion Shawn can utilize CentOS instead of Red Hat because its exactly the same. If Shawn can care enough to make good few hours of video focusing Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) Exam 200, I think it would be THE BEST. Why I said that? Because judging by his communication and presentation skills, I must admit he is A1 instructor indeed. Best Wishes for Year 2024! 😃

I worked completely through all of these. I probably could have just used your video series and only one of the other two. But I feel well primed to begin a course for either LPIC-1 or Linux + I wanted to say thank you for your video series. Your presentation style is great! I enjoyed it very much. You clearly put a lot of time into creating the series. If you paid that much attention towards a free video series for an entry level cert, I can only imagine how good your next course will be. If I'm asked which certification I'll pursue next between Linux + and LPIC-1, my answer will be, 'Whichever one Swawn Powers makes a training course for'.. I'm looking forward to it and am eager to sign up and pay as soon as you announce it. Thank you Sir!

If you're looking for a job, which is the only real reason to get certified, an RHCSA will instantly put your resume ahead of the rest. Since CentOS is dead use either Rocky linux or AlmaLinux for learning. They're the new CentOS. Ubuntu Server seems to be on the rise, but I'd still go for RHCSA, because that's what companies want. Just my two cents though, do whatever you think is best.

Without going to the website and looking up the tests themselves, I'm assuming they are revisions. Usually when they expire one set of tests and replace them with an updated version, there's a short period where both are available. I suspect that's what happening here if you have the option to take either set. (And ideally, you take the test you prepared for, so if you studied the 400 material, you'll want to take the 400 tests, and vice versa)

Is Linux Fundamental Cert a good certificate? wondering which cert to take and if its a good cert
@shawnp0wers2 жыл бұрын
It's tough for me to find a cert with that exact title -- I do see the Linux Foundation has an "associate" level cert that I didn't know about. That might be their entry level certification that compares to LPI's "Linux Essentials". I assume it is a great cert to prepare for, especially if you're not already familiar with Linux. Even if you don't pay for the cert itself, learning the objectives would be a great start. But the cert could validate your learning, if nothing else so you know that you "got it" while you were studying, if that makes sense. I do talk a bit about entry level certs (particularly the Linux Essentials cert) in the intro video to my Linux Essentials series/playlist. If you haven't seen that, check it out.

Is Comptia Linux + same level as LPIC -1 in terms of knowledge?
@shawnp0wers Жыл бұрын
Similar. It's worth looking over the objectives to each. They have a slightly different "take" on which things they go deeper into, but I'd rank them at the same competency level.

Have you taken RHCSA? Which takes longer?

I have not. I did a prep course for it years ago (not here, but for the training company I was working for) -- and the amount of content was pretty similar to Linux+ & LPIC-1, but of course very specifically about RedHat.

It took me 3 months, studying full time (6-8 hours a day).

The course is underway, and moving slower than I'd hoped -- but should pick up now that I started the 90daysofmayhem.com :)

LFS207 is the quite un-interactive course, LPIC is worse.

Can you suggest best books for linux
@shawnp0wers Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, I'm not current on which books are good for specific exam prep. That said, I'm very biased toward my friend Kyle's books on Linux in general. This one for example I recently used to set up my own mail server (and that's only one chapter in the book!) amzn.to/3EP82H4 (note: affiliate link)

LPIC 1 is stupid. It is memorization of commands. I easily passed the Linux plus and bombed the lpic 1.

I appreciate that insight. It’s been YEARS since I took an LPIC-1 exam.
