[Eric Beversluis]

Here's some things for people to look at wrt LPI training. 


Someone's aggregation of Linux texts--doesn't seem to have the latest books
(see below)

Nicholas Wells, The Complete Guide to Linux System Administration ("to be
released"--was due out in December '04).

LPIC Exam Cram 2: Linux Professional Institute Certification Exams 101 and
102:

My experience with Exam Cram has been mixed. The first edition of their Exam
Cram 2 for the A+ exam was horribly written and even more full of errors
than such books typically are. Also there are probably just multiple-guess
questions at the end of each chapter, if that. The books from Course
Technology are designed as textbooks, and have "hands on" exercises as well
as multiple guess questions and are more thorough. Also teacher's manual,
answers, etc. These peripherals would be valuable to a group working for the
LPI test. On the other hand, $27 < $74.

Other suggestions re books we might look at?
