Cheers.  I meant the bootcamps are too expensive.  I was thinking about just taking 
the exams without the instruction - I can read and I have a couple of Linux boxes to 
play about with, so I'm happy to do this without a 'teacher'.  Saves a few pennies 
too... difference between £1500-£2500 for the bootcamps and ~£150-£200 for just the 
exams, which I _can_ afford :D

Thanks for the heads up on the relativity of it... what I mean was how much depth 
are you supposed to go into for LPI 101?  The objectives are a little hazy: 
http://www.lpi.org/en/obj_101.html  Are you supposed to be doing this as if you're 
working on any particular distro or is it supposed to be a 'clean' machine, or an 
LFS style setup?  If they're basing it on a standard Debian or RedHat system then 
most of it seems fairly straight forward.  If they've got themselves an imaginary 
LPI 'distro' for the exams that needs you to do all the work from scratch, that's a 
slightly different matter.  Not too bad, but not as nice :)

Cheers.
