This is the place.  

I have been putting a large amount of effort into becoming fully 
competent with the GNU tools for about a year.  In this time I have 
read most of the common books (Running Linux etc).

This Christmas, Mrs. Browning bought me a copy of ORA's 'LPI Linux 
Certification in a Nutshell'.  This was intended as a practical 
joke to comment on the shockingly dull nature of my obsession but it 
is a fantastic book (i.e. definitely the best I have seen) and I 
fully recommend it if you are serious about the CLI stuff.  (NB. it 
is essentially the relevant man pages formatted for easy reading with 
a helpful commentary).

If you, or anyone, is interested in subsequently sitting the exam I 
have located a testing centre in Exeter and plan to do it in March.  
If feel that I would benefit from having someone else doing it at the 
same time to 'compare notes' with.

Any thoughts?
