Linux Professional Institute 2 (LPIC-2)

[hunter_thom]

Hello,

I have completed my LPIC-1, and am planning to pursue LPIC-2 in the next couple months. Because of the new exam objectives, there is almost no English structured curriculum available (other than $1k boot camps). I would prefer to read some books myself and prepare in my own time. My idea is to go through the exam objectives and simply try to locate a book that would cover each individual topic, as there is no LPIC-2 book in English.

My question is: has anyone taken the new LPIC-2 exams since the April 2009 objective updates? If so, can you comment on your study material? Did you use a boot camp, or were there particular books you found very useful for the LPIC-2 topics?

Any advice/comments would be greatly appreciated!

In case there is anyone else out there in my position (English speaking only, preparing for LPIC-2, cannot afford bootcamp training):

I passed the LPI 201 last night. I used the following for my material:
1. The LPIC-2 Exam Prep (best source of 201 material)
2. Linux Professional Institute (LPI) exam prep : Overview
3. LPI Linux Certification in a Nutshell, Second Edition - O'Reilly Media
4. GNU/Linux Manuals
5. PenguinTutor - Linux Tutorials and LPI Certification Practice Exams

These materials were sufficient (although outdated) to help me pass.
