# Introduction

Welcome to LPI Linux Essentials  Study guide. This book is a starting point for learning Linux and aims to reduce the learning curve of Linux. You can view the Linux Essentials Exam 010 Objectives [here](https://www.lpi.org/our-certifications/exam-010-objectives/).

Many of the topics discussed in this book will be covered in detail later in LPIC-1. Although you do not need to take the LPI Essentials exam to participate in the LPIC-1 exame, but it is recommended to study  it before starting the LPI-1 course.
