You need to know stuff about 1 package manager, configuring X, commands, bash, 
etc. The questions are such that even if you are good Linux guy like myself, 
you should still study.

This is open. LPI has hinted that they would like Matt to do a road show but 
other than that it would be a matter of determining the interest then 
approaching CLUE to find out when someone can come out.

Yes IBM developerworks has 8 hour long tutorials you can take and there are 
some online sample tests and stuff like that. The LPI site covers this.

Well I know it's not doing as well as the RHCE but that's probably a lot 
harder to obtain and costs more. You might want to google this.

You probably want to prep before their rep comes out. You probably could get 
them to do a presentation for you as well though.

Probably more so than the RHCE because their isn't the hands on troubleshoot 
lab component.

Well the info is on the LPI.org site. I am by no means an expert on this. All 
I really know is this is a certification I can afford to obtain.
