I apologize for the reiteration. The original question from Andy was appropriate distros for his classes. Lots of people jumped in with their favorite distros, and details. I got lost in that too. Until April 2009, the LPI exams are based on old objectives. Thus the distos best suited for exam prep would be those developed back in the same time frame (2005, I think). But LPI covers both RPM and DEB packages, so at least one distro from each world is needed. However, if the class also is intended to prep the student for the real world, I believe enterprise "quality" distros are well suited for the purpose. CentOS is used by a number of businesses too. OTOH, if the class is also intended to prep the student as a bleeding edge developer (or some other bleeding edge function), then the latest version of a distro such as Fedora and Ubuntu is appropriate.
