Interactive Linux Training

Is anyone aware of any "interactive" Linux courses on CD? I am specifically looking for something that leads to LPI certification. Thanx!

I'm interested in this as well. Anything out there?

It's been around for years. Here's how you obtain interactive linux training:

1: Set some harddrive space aside.

2: Install linux on that free space.

3: Begin to tinker

4: Continue tinkering

5: Use it as your main OS.

6: Ask specific questions when you get stumped

7: Live it, learn it

Personal experience is a great way to learn, not to mention being part of a your local LUG. I have come quite far with Slackware running 2.6 test10 as my main (and only!) OS, but now the gaps need to be filled. Besides, who takes a test that costs a ton of money without studying?

The IBM site has lessons for exactly for that...check it out here:

I also found this one:

By the way, with respect to the first couple of posts, I would agree that "hands on" trial and error learning is a good suppliment to taking a course. It is not the best (and certainly not the quickest) way to learn what you need to become LPI Certified.
