Terry, The LPI is a hard test and it is a good benchmark. The fact that you must have real experience is important for getting a job but the LPI will guarantee that you have a broad knowledge not a narrow one that you gained from experience.
Personally I learnt a lot from do the two semesters in Granville TAFE and if I had time I would repeat the course to scrape a lot more out. It is my opinion that any certification will only get you through the secretaries hands. "Here cull these resumes, give me only ones with 10+ years and look good or a certification." The job is up to you but you need this to get in the door. I repeat doing the LPI will teach you something and that is all good. I really think that is a far better reason to do it than a piece of paper. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
