Posted on 22nd August 2016 by Rebecca Hunt

Why just 25 amazing uses we hear you ask? Well this month is the 25th anniversary of Linux – and it wouldn’t make much sense to do a list of 50 on such an occasion. What better way to celebrate this game-changing Open Source operating system, than list some interesting and brilliant uses for Linux?[…]

I work for BT Security. I wanted a Linux certification to show that I know Linux, However, whilst studying for the LPIC-1 I found out a new thing or two! Secondly, I work with many devices such as Juniper and Checkpoint Firewalls, Proxies, Splunk etc that typically use Linux as their background OS. They usually are slightly different to each other but I found the LPIC covers most variations. Especially the various methods of carrying out service control or adding user accounts. So overall I was …

I am a veteran of Linux+ and currently work in a RHEL centric telecoms environment. Many people who apply for positions do not have any tangible evidence of the desired level of knowledge and can often be found wanting. LPI certs cover a very wide range of Linux OS administration and protocols which reflects a good understanding of the OS.

Start of my development towards cloud computing. It gave me a good understanding of the Linux basics and prepares me for the rest of my certification path.

Working as a consultant, there’s no guarantee that you’ll work with the same flavour of Linux all the time. This shop might be Ubuntu, the next shop Red Hat… The LPIC certifications require, and evidence, competency with Red Hat and Debian families of Linux. If you have to wear many Linux hats and they’re not all Red, get LPIC-2 certified.

The Linux Essentials is a great foundation level certification to gain the basic understanding of Linux and computer systems. The perfect cert to get young people into Linux! The LPIC Certification has helped UKFast to enhance the methods our engineers use to perform their jobs, and in turn has improved the speed of their development, productivity and the quality of support they are providing to our customers.

Having worked hard and studied for some time I successfully completed my LPIC 3 cert, it is one of the top certs I have and it confirms to end clients that I have a deep understanding and complete end to end view of any Linux environment. The goal for any professional Linux specialist should be the LPIC 3 cert, I know from personal experience that it will not only benefit you professionally but also financially as end clients pay a premium for top rated quals and professionals who attain them.

I am pleased to commend the LPIC 1 certification as an essential starting point for any professional on a Linux based career path. At the UK Open University we have been pleased to link our introductory Linux academic module to the LPIC 1 as this has offered our students potential career enhancement.
Andrew SmithLecturer in NetworkingThe Open University
I have worked with and taught Linux for over eight years, the majority of my work has been with Debian, Redhat and SUSE in that order. It is so important to have broad base of knowledge. The LPIC certifications tick all of the boxes. I used the LPIC1 & 2 books whilst training my competitor for WorldSkills 2013, he gained the highest point score the UK has achieved in the history of the IT Network Systems Administration competition.
Kevin LargeRemote Training Solutions
One of the main reasons I selected LPI was that the courses are not distribution-specific. They give you knowledge in all areas. A good example of this that both rpm and deb package formats are taught and at no point is one recommended above the other. Another area where LPi scores is in the Linux networking area where this extensive topic has been split over a number of sections rather than have one large section.
