Here is a new resource for those of you preparing for the Level 2 certification.
Snow.nl have been supporters of LPI for some time, and have created this free resource
over the past few months. Joost Helberg helped to develop this resource, and sends
these comments;
" The resource published on our web-site, anyone can read it.
http://snow.nl/dist/lpic2index.publicwebsite.html
Snow sells Unix Services and wants to recruit the best Unix people in the
Netherlands. We've endorsed LPI since the very beginning and think that
certifying LPIC-1 and 2 is a very good way to ensure quality of our services as well
as employees."
LPI would like to thank Snow.nl for their continued support and encouragement.
