I am interested in the LPI certification, I have been trying to
track down up-to-date materials.  Would anyone have any
recommendations for good sources for preparation/ review.

The LPI program is ever so slightly weak in the area of review 
materials. Most of the stuff out there is outdated. This is both a 
strength and a weakness of the program. A weakness because you have 
to look harder than you ideally should, and a strength because you 
are forced to read the man pages and _use_ the software to figure out 
how it all works.

For LPIC-1 I recommend Ross Brunson's book Exam Cram 2: LPIC 1. 
Available at bookstores and Amazon, ISBN 0-7897-3127-4

LPIC2 is even thinner on the ground, this link is well worth a read:

I have some stuff up on my site for download as well which you are 
welcome to use:

Good Luck!

I would have a hard look at LPI Certifications - LPIC2 is highly
regarded... Linux+ is still really an intro Cert, even though
they just changed it to where 6 - 12 mos of experience are
recommended.

While RHCE is #1 to get, it is also costly; LPI are -very-
reasonable.

You can find info on LPI at http://www.lpi.org

Novell has some certifications for their Linux products.
They're supposed to be mostly generic, but i'm sure there are
a few things specific to SuSE linux.

we have anything good to mention something in admin side or
forensic side of Linux ??
