The exams are booked via the Pearson Vue website and are held in the BT Tower so your first step will be getting registered on Pearson Vue and adding CompTIA to your account. The exam is the CompTIA Linux+ (Powered by LPI) so after passing you are Linux+, LPIC-1 and Novell Certified Linux Administrator. I was expecting a seemless process but the Pearson Vue process leaves a bit to be desired. After registering with them you have add CompTIA to your Pearson Vue account - and possibly chase after them a bit. There is also a little chasing afterwards too to ensure your LPI account is updated (and Novell CLA if you want that piece of paper too). The exams are £124 each and there are two exams 101 and 102 leading to LPIC-1 certification. I personally didn't take any training but did use the Sybex book which I thought was great. I also work on Linux servers daily but the exam covers stuff I don't necessarily use every day which is good. There are plenty of example </pre> Jonny McCullagh 2013-05-09T07:42:13 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.belfast/472 <pre> Hi folks, Does anyone know how you would go about taking the LPI exams in Belfast? Ed Any Pearson Vue Test centre. BT training in Belfast is probably your best bet.

I believe they still offer these as part-time options, but you need to check with the course staff at the start of each term (Belfast Met often don't publicise some of their courses very well if they haven't had a lot of prior interest - so you have to just ask...). If you're refering to LPI - http://www.lpi.org/ - then I don't know anywhere in Belfast that provides those exams. I'd suggest checking with any "professional cert" test companies, like Pearson Vue or Prometric, as the http://www.lpi-uk.co.uk/ UK LPI site doesn't seem to indicate test centres.

I am very annoyed to decline your offer;-( and I prefer to be honest. Indeed the availability of cartridges is low for that model so they are quite dear, also a 3in1 color cartridge is used, some ink will be wasted. It means we could not afford to buy the consumables on the long term and it's gonna be not used... As a charity we have lot of workforce, time and equipment but the cash is terribly tight..

Basically you have a deb package that you install and this allows you to create your own virtual environments called bottles (since WINE is the parent free project that is funded in this way). Problems: currently you only have maybe up to XP or vista as install modes, when installing a valid outlook (aka MS office) you'll run into a validation issue, so will have to run the following hack in regedit to modify the registry: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=7437;forum=1;msg=128241 and therefore currently MS Office 2013 can't be installed. Maintenance wise, I haven't yet downloaded an updated deb to see what happens to my original install, but theoretically - due to the way it's designed, this shouldn't cause any blow up -- but time will tell. What you're paying for though is some XML which contains the procedure to build the program. (Think of it as aptitude for Win32 programs, but like I say, for a work in progress it's not 100 %, but wh</pre> Russell Hyer 2013-03-21T19:50:52 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.belfast/453 <pre> Oops.
