Questions ;-)
On the LPI website is a pdf that outlines the required knowledge.
Besides the 3 diff package mngrs (apt-get rpm install from source)
there is nothing distro specific.
IBM has a 'course' on their developer network
written by Daniel Robbins ( the Gentoo guy ) .

Good Q, maybe Mark can answer this one.
I have organised 1 SIG like this before you need +/-
10 to 12 sessions of 4 hours. + personal study !!!
for LPI 101
and the same for LPI 102.

The idea of the SIG is to split work.
Everybody picks a couple topics that he/she studies UPFRONT and IN DEPTH.
Then during the meeting he/she 'teaches' tho others and should be able to answer ALL 
the questions.

The last meeting can be a mock exam.

Yep some links on lpi.org (google for other examples)

Like always it doesn't provide you a job but it can help you to get one :-)

Just for tests I guess.
