The other thing is that the LPI101/102 are fairly straight forward but basic. Working towards LPI201/202 would be of more value to prospective employers.

Re: TV Tuner card for Ubuntu 9.04 amd64
I have two Dvico dual 4's for 4 tuners that multiplex so I can in fact record 8 channels if 4 of them are on the same multiplex. They work great however unfortunately I think you still need to drop in some firmware but I think they are now supported in the kernel even the rev2's. Even if they are not compiling the drivers are straight forward. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616103 -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

Speaking as a LPI 1 (101/102) alumni (self-study, no course), it's been mentioned exactly once in my job hunting, by a recruiter for a job I didn't get. I suggest a RHCE will attract more attention, but an LPI 2 or 3 might also be worth it. I'm considering getting the Ubuntu add-on to my LPI, and either getting the LPI 2 or RHCE on top of that.

I'm sure the general stuff you learn for LPI 1 will be a good base to build from, as RHCE is a more senior level of sysadmin knowledge. Not having done RHCE as yet, that's as specific I can get.. :P I have not decided if I am going to do LPI 2 and 3 also Study for LPI 1 first, then decide where to take it. Alternatively, do the lower level RH exam - RHCT - first, then go on to RHCE. Red Hat exams are a bit pricey, so make sure you study and practise lots first.

Re: TV Tuner card for Ubuntu 9.04 amd64
Thanks so the dvico dual 4's work a treat eh, is that the same for the PCIe and PCI? I know one is meant to be faster though can any real time benefit be seen.
