[CoLoCo] Certification Study Group

[Kevin Fries]

Ditto David...

I would LOVE to get my cert, but schedule is tight with me.  I can move some things around, but I need to know what day and time I am trying to free up.

As for the book, any book that covers the new test specs (which will be in effect by the time any of us are ready to take it) is fine with me.

I like the first book - LPIC-1 Linux Professional Institute Certification.  I might be able to get it for free through a professor on campus here (he has a deal with most book publishers).

What day/time are we thinking here?  The location sounds good, but my schedule is...  busy... to say the least.  :-)

Does downtown Denver (999 18th Street, 80202) work for everyone that wants to study with this group and get certified?  I have classrooms, networks, and computers there, and a lot of flexibility on how I use them.  David Overcash?  Anyone else?

If not, we can use a classroom, or we can meet anywhere with table-space as long as we all have big machines we're willing to bring with us.

Any thoughts on the books, or should I just pick one?

  Here are two LPI books we could choose from:

I did not see that you were offering to teach the study group.  I would
be interested in that.  And I would be willing to travel for it too.
Please let us know when you would like to start the training and I am
sure that will be there.
