Unveiling the Ubuntu Edition of the Linux Server Construction Standard Textbook

The non-profit organization LPI-Japan, well-known for its Linux certification like LinuC, is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of the Ubuntu version of its acclaimed educational material, 'Linux Server Construction Standard Textbook.' This new edition will be available starting July 1, 2026, on LPI-Japan's official website.

Background of the Release

In recent years, there has been an increasing adoption of Linux across various fields such as cloud technologies, AI, containers, and data science. Among the popular Linux distributions, Ubuntu has gained notable traction, particularly in development and cloud environments.

According to the extensive 'Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025,' Ubuntu is utilized by a substantial portion of developers—27.8% for personal use and 27.7% for professional applications. This widespread adoption positions Ubuntu as a top choice for running Linux virtual machines in public clouds like AWS and Microsoft Azure. Furthermore, it serves as a base image for containers and is integral in generative AI/LLM environments, as well as machine learning setups harnessing NVIDIA GPUs.

Educational institutions, including universities and vocational schools, are also increasingly leveraging Ubuntu, creating a demand for practical learning materials that reflect real-world usage. In response to these market dynamics and educational needs, LPI-Japan has collaborated with the LinuC Open Network community to develop and release this Ubuntu edition of the textbook. This allows learners to choose between the AlmaLinux and Ubuntu versions based on their learning environments and goals.

Key Features of the Textbook

1. Hands-On Learning with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
The updated textbook incorporates Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Server) alongside the original AlmaLinux edition. Students will install Ubuntu and follow interactive commands, enabling them to gain practical knowledge and skills directly applicable to the workplace.

2. Deep Understanding Through Practical Exercises
Learners will cover server construction technologies included in the LinuC Level 2 curriculum (exams 201 and 202) through hands-on exercises. By accessing the constructed servers via web and performing email transactions, students will gain experiential knowledge of server operations and protocol mechanisms.

3. A Textbook That Evolves with Community Input
Since its initial release in 2009, this textbook has continually evolved, incorporating feedback from numerous users and IT professionals. Ongoing engagement with the open LinuC community will ensure that the text remains up-to-date with the latest technologies and expands in content.
