I think yes, post the questions here unless anyone has any problems
with that. In here we can gather knowledge from everyone regardless of
whether they are doing the LPI thing, and we'll be disseminating what
we discover not only to SLUG but to all and sundry over the Internet.
All benefits I reckon.

I read with some dismay the following from the exam cram book:

Exam tip: know the port device names, interrupts and I/O addresses.
Know how to modify serial port configurations and how to set an IP and
other IP information manually for an NIC. Also know which files and
procedures are used for a PPP connection.

I think that means know device names, interrupts and I/O addresses by
heart.
