IT Professional Certifications CompTIA CompTIA Linux+ Certification CompTIA Linux+ LX0-103

Linux finds a home in every device we would think of as a computer, from Smartphones to PCs and data center servers. In this course, you will learn about the system architecture of Linux including how it interacts with peripherals and the boot sequence, and how to change the system RunLevels and Boot Targets. This course is one of a series in the learning path that covers the objectives for the CompTIA Linux+ exams LX0-103.
