[lug] Evening LPIC-1 Prep Class

[David L. Willson]

LPIC-1 exams (LPI-101 and LPI-102) are administered by Prometric, at any testing facility, as ordered. 

If I were you, I would skip LPIC-1, and go straight to RHCE. If you want to do an evening class, wait for April, and I'll offer you one. If you think you're ready, and just want a review, grab an exam prep book from your favorite book-seller, and take the exam(s). 

LPIC-1 is too basic for someone in your class, unless you're headed to LPIC-2 or 3, in which case you gotta do it.
