A wee little note to anyone who will be in London next Tuesday &/or Wednesday (20 & 21 April).
The Linux User & Developer Expo is on at the London Olympia and you can take the LPI 1 & 2 exams for £15. Yes, that's right, £15. The times are 1000 and 1400 on both days.
That will get you the first level of certification.
First register (if you haven't already) at
http://www.lpi.org/ to get your LPI id number, then go to
http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/expo/ to register for the event. Although it is very close to the day, tickets are still available or you can probably get them on the day itself.
I am seriously considering it.
Good luck
