Hi ! Linux users and experts
I am planning to sit for Linux Certification. I have visited www.lpi.org. Now I need advise and recommendation on the following.

2) If you have sit for your LPI (Linux certification exam) please share with me your experience. I am going for self study to prepare for the exam.

hi Whitehat

Hai,

It's glad to know you had Linux + cert.

i am planing to sit for RHCT.

do you have any idea about this ...

The RHCT Certification Lab Exam will be composed of two elements:
(1 hour) a diagnostics and troubleshooting lab ,
(2 hours). system install configuration, and attachment to network

i am quit good in (2 hours),but i am little bit confused ,how am i doing prepation for (1 hours)

bec'z i don't have any kind of sumilation.so do you know some web links,through i can get other people sumilation regrading diagnostics and troubleshooting lab ,

and i have no idea about exam what they asking on "diagnostics and troubleshooting lab"

so plz help me.....

You care for other,Other Care About you..........

I bought the RHCE book by Michael Jang and also a book on networking and troubleshooting from The Redhat Press.

I would bet that the troubleshooting part is going to be like how to fix a DNS Problem, or IP config is messed up, or just goofy hardware/config stuff.

I think the 2 hour build, install, attach to a network is still gonna be hard, but easyer than troubleshooting.

I would suggest to you that if you don't have a lab at home, at least see if you can buy some cheap PC's off of ebay. I did that at first. You can get like 3 cheap PC's and a KVM switch to mess around with for like 50-100 dollars per PC. That kind of PC will run linux just fine.

Got to have hands on dude....I wouldn't even consider taking the test if all I had was some hands on with 1 PC at home. I'd make sure you've used it a GOOD deal. I've been using Redhat for about 1.5 years now....at work and at home. I had a 5 box network to study with and 2 or 3 monitors. I also have 2 Linux servers at work. One was slackware 8.1 and one was redhat 7.3.
Now they are both Redhat 9.

Most of what I've done with Linux has been Command line only. Not GUI. I don't know how much GUI is on the test...

Good luck to you all. I will need it myself

Dang....I do love linux
