<DIV>IBM's courses seem very expensive. I don't think they are suitable for preparing for LPI since it is designed for testing generic Linux knowledge on common hardware base, but neither on IBM Power machine(RISC) nor for applications developed by IBM.<BR><BR><B><I>Les Bell <lesbell@lesbell.com.au></I></B> wrote:
