Hi all,

I just enrolled as a member of linuxquestions. Interesting to see hundreds of 1000s of users! Hi to you all from a fellow techie

I am thinking of taking LPIC exam level 1 sometime in the future. I have been programming with databases and had used Unix as a programmer, not as an administrator. Familiar with vi, find, ls, df -k, ...

I was able to pass DBA certification exam with Exam Cram. It was very useful. Shall I take it that the following book alone will be enough?
"LPIC I Exam Cram 2 : Linux Professional Institute Certification Exams 101 and 102 (Exam Cram 2) by Ross Brunson"

I also have Linux installed at home. Do you suggest any more sites along with the Exam Cram book? I prefer to read just one or two resources than reading many of them. (Reading too many books did not help with my DBA cert. Exam cram for DBA covered everything in detail and was one stop resource for reading and revising before the exam)

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Rocky.

For a related web site, have a look at IBM:

Thanks for the link Neil. However, it asks for a userid/password. I tried to register for the materials, but I do not what page to go, since I need userid/password.

However I went into developer works site in IBM. There were many links out there for Linux. COuld you please let us know the link that can be used for studies. Thanks a bunch.

I don't understand why it's not just prompting you to register. It's free registration. But, I've just had the same experience as you trying to login where I don't have the account details set up. I registerd about 18 months ago and just go straight to the links. I got the information orginally from www.desktoplinux.com May be worth looking there for an old article on the IBM series?

Okay, I've finally found the page to register:

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...-lpir21-i.html

If you go to the above page there will be a "Register for this tutorial" link towards the left hand side of the page. That should allow you to get going. If I recall you need to register for each tutorial. As you complete one it will give a link to the next one.
