# 101 Labs for Linux

The goal of this book is to dramatically improve your hands-on skills and speed, enabling you to succeed in the practical portions of the Linux+ exams and also to transfer your skills to the real world as a Linux systems engineer. We don’t have space here to cover theory at all, so please refer to your Linux study guide to get a good understanding of the learning points behind each lab. Every lab is designed to cover a particular theoretical issue, such as the configuration requirements of fdisk.

### DOING THE LABS

All of the labs are hands-on. They have been checked by several students as well as a senior Linux consultant so should be error-free. Bear in mind that each machine will differ so your output will differ from ours in many instances. If you use a distro other than Ubuntu 18.04 then your results will differ from ours significantly.

If you get stuck or things aren’t working, we recommend you take a break and come back to the lab later with a clear mind. There are many Linux support forums out there where you can ask questions, and if you are a member of 101labs.net you can post on our forum, of course.

Best of luck with your studies. – [Eopi Noriko](https://www.facebook.com/Thuong.EoPi/), CCNP, MCSE
