I'm primarily focused on getting my LPI certification then my Linux+ cert. I would like to hear people who actually have these certifications about recent books that would ensure i have the proper training material along with hard study to pass the exams. There was a one e-learning site i mentioend some time ago that had a 800 page book and 30 days of linux support for $320 paypal. I am not sure this is the way to go for me. i do have the essentials mostly covered just start needed to learn the things i either dont know about or have always wanted to try (apache, bind, postfix) and i realize this isn't specific to mdk but recommended by them though mdk is my distro of choice. i'm going to have to get my hands dirty. i'm having a computer tower assembled for this purpose so i can network it what with what has been my primary computer. it will have plenty of resources to handle any task. what i need though are books ! I am begging the community to come up with a book list for me that will help me get my LPI. someone earlier suggested the LPI Linux cert,. in a nutshell for $70 or so but i have read that it is probably not sufficient to pass and now that it is christmas its impossible to get a 2003 copy. again i did mention Linux+ as well but i feel LPI is what i want to tackle first so if we could please start from there. i know its asking alot for a book listing but someone was weary of the $300 deal and it does seem silly to package a briefcase with it for the nice little 800 page book.
if you wish to communicate with me further on a one one one basis please add "specialplan93" to your yahoo or simply reply to this post. i'm desperate. i'm disabled. i want to work at home and avoid 3-dimensional people as much as reasonably possible. believe it or not my disability is mental but i have the determination to do this. thank you !
