03 / Preguntas frecuentes
Preguntas antes de empezar
What is the difference between LPIC-1 and LPIC-2?+
- LPIC-1 covers foundational Linux skills like command-line usage, file systems, and basic networking. It’s aimed at junior administrators.
- LPIC-2 focuses on advanced administration, including kernel management, enterprise services (DNS, email, web servers), security (firewalls, VPNs), and storage (RAID, LVM). It validates skills for managing small-to-medium networks.
You must pass LPIC-1 before earning LPIC-2.
Which is better, Linux+ or LPIC?+
- Linux+ (CompTIA): Vendor-neutral, single exam, valid for 3 years. Covers basics like CLI, storage, and security, but lacks depth in enterprise services.
- LPIC: More rigorous (two exams per level), globally recognized, and valid for 5 years. LPIC-2 is preferred for roles requiring advanced Linux administration (e.g., configuring Apache, BIND, Samba).
LPIC is better for career growth in Linux administration roles, while Linux+ suits beginners or those needing a CompTIA-focused certification.
How long to study for LPIC 2? +
The average time to complete training for each LPIC-2 exam is usually 3-6 months, depending on experience.
- Exam 201: ~90-120 hours (covers kernel, storage, networking)
- Exam 202: ~60-90 hours (focuses on services like DNS, email, security).
What jobs can I get with LPIC-2?+
- Roles: Linux Admin, Network Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure Specialist.
- Salary impact: 77% of certified professionals report a pay increase within 6 months.
