(Website suggestions pls?)<br><br>Foo,<br><br>You did not say if the "largely techincal" job was in systems<br>administration or development.<br><br>If the former, I would suggest going to the LPI website (www.lpi.org)<br>and particularly starting on this page and look at the LPIC-1, LPIC-2<br>and LPIC-3 pages:<br><br>http://lpi.org/linux-certifications/programs/<br><br>You will find a list of course objectives under each of these. If you<br>read them and can honestly say to yourself "yes, I know how to do that<br>in Linux", then check off that objective and go to the next one.<br><br>If you hesitate, then that is a sign that you probably need to "bone<br>up".<br><br>Here are some online manuals that can help:<br><br>http://www.nongnu.org/lpi-manuals/<br><br>http://www.nongnu.org/lpi-manuals/manual/<br><br>some are a bit dated, but with the issue that you just have a short time<br>to get ready and that this is a "largely technical" job, I would assume<br>that these will probably help.<br><br>Also, knowing the objectives helps you find what you need with Internet<br>search.
