Course Description

With a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises, quizzes and demos the students will get a very good grip of the Linux operating system and will be confident enough to take the test by the end of the course. The LFCS certification exam is performance based and hence needs a lot of practice, not memorization or brain dumps. You will be required to perform tasks on a live system and your score will be based on the correctness of the tasks performed. It is a 2 hour test and requires a 74% passing score.
LFCS is very high in-demand certification that is OS agnostic. Unlike some other certifications out there, you won't be required to stick to only one operating system. You will be given a choice to either pick up CentOS or Ubuntu as the operating system of your choice. Both of these operating systems are available for free and I will show you how to download and install them in a virtual environment in the first section of the course.
This course will cover the following domains:
Understand and use essential tools Access a shell prompt and issue commands with correct syntax Use input-output redirection Use grep and regular expressions to analyze text Access remote systems using SSH Log in and switch users in multiuser targets Archive, compress, unpack, and uncompress files using tar, star, gzip, and bzip2 Create and edit text files Create, delete, copy, and move files and directories Create hard and soft links List, set, and change standard ugo/rwx permissions Locate, read, and use system documentation including man, info, and files in /usr/share/docOperate running systems Boot, reboot, and shut down a system normally Boot systems into different targets manually Interrupt the boot process in order to gain access to a system Identify CPU/memory intensive processes and kill processes Adjust process scheduling Manage tuning profiles Locate and interpret system log files and journals Preserve system journals Start, stop, and check the status of network services Securely transfer files between systemsConfigure local storage List, create, delete partitions on MBR and GPT disks Create and remove physical volumes Assign physical volumes to volume groups Create and delete logical volumes Configure systems to mount file systems at boot by universally unique ID (UUID) or label Add new partitions and logical volumes, and swap to a system non-destructivelyCreate and configure file systems Create, mount, unmount, and use vfat, ext4, and xfs file systems Mount and unmount network file systems using NFS Extend existing logical volumes Create and configure set-GID directories for collaboration Configure disk compression Manage layered storage Diagnose and correct file permission problemsDeploy, configure, and maintain systems Schedule tasks using at and cron Start and stop services and configure services to start automatically at boot Configure systems to boot into a specific target automatically Configure time service clients Install and update software packages from Red Hat Network, a remote repository, or from the local file system Work with package module streams Modify the system bootloaderManage basic networking Configure IPv4 and IPv6 addresses Configure hostname resolution Configure network services to start automatically at boot Restrict network access using firewall-cmd/firewallManage users and groups Create, delete, and modify local user accounts Change passwords and adjust password aging for local user accounts Create, delete, and modify local groups and group memberships Configure superuser accessManage security Configure firewall settings using firewall-cmd/firewalld Create and use file access control lists Configure key-based authentication for SSH Set enforcing and permissive modes for SELinux List and identify SELinux file and process context Restore default file contexts Use boolean settings to modify system SELinux settings Diagnose and address routine SELinux policy violationsAs with all Red Hat performance-based exams, configurations must persist after reboot without intervention.

Instructor Details

Javed Akbar

I have been in a technology role for more than 20 years now. Started off working at Sun Microsystems back in 1996 as an entry level systems administrator. I have worked for companies like Netscape, Tivoli Systems, Amazon, Cisco Systems and most recently IBM.

My expertise has been in Linux, Windows, Network, Virtualization and most recently in Cloud Computing.


I have a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Wichita State University.
I have previously taught courses at community colleges and have taken technical training online.
I think I can explain technical subjects in a very systematic and easy to follow manner.

During the installation process of Ubuntu, it would be better if he explained what is going on more

I coulndt find the same links to download like centos, and the virtual box looks a bit different probably newer version I understand but it is harder when you start from 0

By Zak O. Simpson on 11/1/2020

I've taken both LFS201 and 211, made an effort with their labs, yet there were some things on their exam I don't remember having seen in their own material---even after my second attempt. Javed's little course here already seems much more in line with how the exam is. Here's hoping!
Halfway edit: Definitely only worth the ~$20 or so advertised. Not willing to call it sub-4-stars, but feeling a bit of, "Not sure what I expected."
Few-days-later edit: Maybe it was because I understood most things and got bored. Came across user limit and user sudo configuration and I'm convinced again Javed's made the effort to address the exam questions as they appeared, which is a great help for me.

I liked the course over all. To improve the course some online labs would make the course a lot better for the students.
