Another thing to keep in mind - while they claim to be distro independent, you had better know Debian. It is HEAVILY biased toward the Debuntu way of doing things.<br>

<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
At the Dec ALE meeting, interest in a group to learn Linux was shown.<br>
I'd like to help someone organize that effort.<br>
<br>
Online searching found guides from 2008, 2005 and 2003, so those seem a little<br>
dated.<br>
<br>
Wikibooks has <a href="https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LPI_Linux_Certification" target="_blank">https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LPI_Linux_Certification</a>.<br>
<br>
Perhaps the O'Reilly book, _LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell_, 3rd Addition<br>
is a reasonable text for this effort. It is from 2010, so still a little dated.<br>
<br>
Anyway, some ideas to get organized, create artifacts, and have discussion<br>
groups would be great!<br>
