[clue-cert] Bash scripting

[Danielson, Lynn]

Congrats Dave!
 
I found passing the test to be a confidence building experience, which is another reason I encourage everyone to take it.  I'll admit I was pushed a bit by the spectre of dpkg.  My lowest scores on the exam were the hardware/architecture and X Windows sections.  I'm sure I've heard testing advice that initial responses are often the correct ones and that over thinking a question can lead you into changing a correct answer to an incorrect one.  This happened to me on at least one X Windows question.  On the other hand, I'm sure that reviewing a few questions allowed me to get at least one of them right.  So in my case, maybe it was a wash.  Whatever, a pass is a pass.  Dennis, Jef -- take the test.   :-)
 
I am sorry I didn't make the meeting last night.  We were upgrading our back up system yesterday and were at it well into the evening.  If I hadn't completely spaced the meeting, I might have been able to join you for a half hour or so.  I do hope to join in again next month.  'Hope to see you then.
 
Lynn

Lynn,

I had just decided to not bother taking the LPI test
(save the money, relax) when I got your email.  With
your inspiration and as I was facing a long quiet
weekend at work I decided to go for it.

I took it yesterday (9/27) afternoon - passed - and then
met with study group (you were missed!). I agree the
book helped and rpm questions were not hard.  Overall,
I found a lot of questions tricky and lots of recent
serious system administration (setup and fix systems,
xwindows, etc) would have helped (my lowest scores).
I did prefer this type of test to the adaptive tests
I've taken in the past.  BTW:  I think Dennis and Jef
are considering taking the test this week.

Oh well, now I'll relax and focus on other things for
a while.

Thanks for the inspiration,

     David
