Presentations for the first 4 LPIC classes
For the last month I’ve been teaching an LPIC (Linux Professional Institute Certification) study course at my home on Thursday nights. Here are the presentations I’ve used, all based around Roderick W. Smith’s LPIC-1: Linux Professional Institute Certification Study Guide, 2nd edition (or get it for Kindle).
