To find out more about quota support under Linux, be sure to check out the Linux Quota mini-HOWTO. Also be sure to consult the quota(1), edquota(8), repquota(8), quotacheck(8), and quotaon(8) man pages on your system.

Additional information to the system boot process and boot loaders can be found at:

• The IBM developerWorks Linux zone's Getting to know GRUB tutorial
• LILO Mini-HOWTO
• GRUB home
• Kernel command-line options in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
• Sysvinit docs at Redhat

To learn more about Linux filesystems, read the multi-part advanced filesystem implementor's guide on the IBM developerWorks Linux zone, covering:

• The benefits of journalling and ReiserFS (Part 1)
• Setting up a ReiserFS system (Part 2)
• Using the tmpfs virtual memory filesystem and bind mounts (Part 3)
• The benefits of devfs, the device management filesystem (Part 4)
• Beginning the conversion to devfs (Part 5)
• Completing the conversion to devfs using an init wrapper (Part 6)
• The benefits of the ext3 filesystem (Part 7)
• An in-depth look at ext3 and the latest kernel updates (Part 8)
• An introduction to XFS (Part 9)

For more information on partitioning, take a look at the following partitioning tips on the IBM developerWorks Linux zone:

Don't forget http://www.linuxdoc.org. You'll find linuxdoc's collection of guides, HOWTOs, FAQs, and man pages to be invaluable. Be sure to check out Linux Gazette and LinuxFocus as well.

The Linux System Administrators guide, available from Linuxdoc.org's "Guides" section, is a good complement to this series of tutorials -- give it a read! You may also find Eric S. Raymond's Unix and Internet Fundamentals HOWTO to be helpful.

In the Bash by example article series on developerWorks, Daniel shows you how to use bash programming constructs to write your own bash scripts. This bash series (particularly Parts 1 and 2) will be excellent additional preparation for the LPIC Level 1 exam:

• Bash by example, Part 1: Fundamental programming in the Bourne-again shell
• Bash by example, Part 2: More bash programming fundamentals
• Bash by example, Part 3: Exploring the ebuild system

We highly recommend the Technical FAQ by Linux Users by Mark Chapman, a 50-page in-depth list of frequently-asked Linux questions, along with detailed answers. The FAQ itself is in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format. If you're a beginning or intermediate Linux user, you really owe it to yourself to check this FAQ out. We also recommend the Linux glossary for Linux users, also from Mark.

If you're not familiar with the vi editor, we strongly recommend that you check out Daniel's Vi intro -- the cheat sheet method tutorial. This tutorial will give you a gentle yet fast-paced introduction to this powerful text editor. Consider this must-read material if you don't know how to use vi.
