Hello, and welcome to the **Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 101 Preparation Course**.\
I’m **Aaron Lockhart**, your instructor for this series.

* Perform maintenance tasks on the command line
* Install and configure a Linux system
* Configure basic networking

These objectives reflect real-world system administration skills identified through LPI’s job task analysis. As an LPI-certified gold partner, **KodeKloud** ensures you learn from trusted experts.
