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 :)
The LPI is designed as an "all systems" certification, you need knowledge of redhat, debian and a few others. The kind of depth you need to go in to does seem to vary a little however. Some of the mock exams I have taken were far more challenging than others. basically LPi101 was designed to be a basic overview.. shouldn't be that hard for some of the more accomplished linux bods on this mailing list...
