- harder than I thought. Read up on CLE (took CLP), will do CLE eventually.
- has helped me quite a lot in my daily life. My work is more structured. I 
simply know more.

- recommended.

Hello,

Can anyone recommend book titles to prepare for the test? Are there books
from Novell or third party that folks prefer?

Many thanks,

~James

Hi list,

- in addition, somewhere Novell has this Linux skills assesments test on the 
web. We (me and some VERY skilled young sharks) were trying this test out. 
All of us failed. Perhaps because the test itself was not very clear in its 
language, but what on the surface looked EASY, wasn't just so...

- as stated in this thread, a MS-Windows sysadmin with limited or no 
Linux/Unix experience doesn't have a chance. An experienced Linux/Unix admin 
stands better, but get up early :-)

Sounds similar to the RHCE training I took a few years ago.  Despite
having years of real world UNIX/Linux experience I would have never
gotten through the test in the time allocated (6 hrs?) if I had  not
just finished four 4 days of intensive boot camp.

The 2 or 3 people who came into the class as Windows Admins with
limited UNIX/Linux experience and trying to transition had no chance
of getting through the test.

Did not take the classes, just the clp test.  I have the books for the classes.
 The test is a good measure of what you know, if you can do what you know, and
do it in an organized timely fashion.

If you do not take the classes, then get a test system, and enjoy every possible
scenario to configure a working system with users, groups, disk quotas,
partitions, ACLs,  httpd, samba, email, ssh, etc.

I think the best benefit is the satisfaction it is over :-)
