    Over the years, I've heard Jon talk several times.

    The last time was March 2003 in Orlando, Florida at a join user meeting of Linux Enthusiasts and Professionals of Central Florida and the Melbourne (Florida) LUG.

    I wrote about it in my /. journal. Read the March 8 entry..

  6. I Put up exam faq and resource guide by DaGoodBoy · · Score: 1 · on First LPI Certification Exam

    Our LUG is now officially supporting the vendor independent LPI certifications. We had a record number of listeners to the IceCast of last nights meeting which covered the test.

    I have also started a project site at our LUG website to support members who want to get certified. Hereis the URL: http://www.mlinux.org/projects/cer tified/lpi117/. It includes a FAQ about the test from my perspective and a list of resources to study. As other members take the test I will add their points of view to the FAQ as well.

    Thanks!

  7. Just finished the LPI117 Exam by DaGoodBoy · · Score: 5 · on First LPI Certification Exam

    I was one of the first persons (ID: LPI000001003) to take this test. I just wanted to share my experiences with you guys.

    The testing center near my home is a local technical school. They were friendly and the exam area was comfortable. I arrived early and brushed through parts of the O'Reilly "Essential System Administration" I haven't read over in a while.

    While I was waiting, a gentlemen approached me and asked if I was there to take a Linux exam. I smiled and indicated I was. He was attending the school there pursuing his MSCE and had some questions about Linux and the exam. He was curious how I was preparing especially and what subjects the exam covered. I explained I was a consultant and have been using Linux since 1994 and recommended a few good books on the subjects covered by the exam. I also explained what I know about the exam structure and requirements. I also indicated that I chaired the Melbourne Linux User Group (http://www.mlinux.org/) and that we have local meetings. He took my business card and said he would like to attend our install party this weekend.

    I was motioned to the testing area by the librarian and she explained that mine was the second beta exam she ever gave and the first Linux exam. I told her to expect a few more in the coming weeks and she logged me into the exam system.

    The test was challenging and I added comments for each of the questions, added why I selected the options I did or when I was guessing. The questions were appropriate for the target level you mentioned on the site. Good job LPI!

    When the test was completed I was given a printout that featured the LPI logo and some explanation of the beta period scoring. I am disappointed that I won't know the results for a while, but am glad I was able to help by providing another example test for LPI to mull over. If you want to contact me and ask me anything about the test, please feel free.

    Thanks to LPI for this effort at distribution neutral certification! I feel very strongly about supporting this and will be encouraging the members of our LUG to support it as well.
