This wraps up not only this tutorial, but also our LPI 102 exam series. We
hope you've enjoyed the ride! While the tutorial is over, learning never
ends. You'll find useful instruction in the following resources, particularly
if you plan to take the LPI 102 exam:
The best thing you can do to improve your NFS skills is to try setting
up your own NFS 3 server and client(s) -- the experience will be
invaluable. The second-best thing you can do is to read the Linux NFS
HOWTO, which is quite a good HOWTO.
Learn more about what ssh is capable of in the developerWorks series on
ssh: Part
1, Part
2, and Part
3. Also be sure to visit the home of openssh at http://www.openssh.com, which is an
excellent place to continue your study of this important tool.
Samba is another important networked
file-sharing technology. For more information about Samba, read the developerWorks Samba articles: the first "Key
concepts" article, Samba
installation article, and Samba
configuration article.
Once you're up to speed on Samba, spend some time studying the Linux DNS HOWTO. The
LPI 102 exam is also going to expect that you have some familiarity with
Sendmail. Red Hat has a good Red
Hat Sendmail HOWTO that will help to get you up to speed.
Be sure to also check out the following general resources:
http://www.linuxdoc.org has an
excellent collection of guides, HOWTOs, FAQs, and man-pages. While there, be sure to check out Linux Gazette and LinuxFocus.
The Linux Network 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, learn how to use
bash programming constructs to write your own
bash scripts. This series (particularly parts 1 and 2)
are excellent additional preparation for the LPI exam:
The Technical
FAQ for Linux Users by Mark Chapman is a 50-page in-depth list of
frequently-asked Linux questions, along with detailed answers. The FAQ
itself is in PDF (Acrobat) format. If you're a beginning or intermediate
Linux user, you really owe it to yourself to check this FAQ out. The Linux
glossary for Linux users, also from Mark, is also excellent.
If you're not too familiar with the vi editor, you should check out Daniel's tutorial on Vi. This developerWorks 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.
