T-3 weeks! 

How well you prepare determines how fun Linux Camp will be, and how likely =
you are to pass the LPIC-1 exams on-site. 

Everyone is registered as a BYOB (bringing your own box). Here are my recom=
mendations: 

    1. Take a backup! You'll be moving very fast and might break something =
during camp. It would be a shame to lose the pictures or the thesis because=
 you pointed a destructive command at the wrong file-system. 
    2. Processor: At least 2 cores. More is better. 
    3. Memory: At least 2 GB. More is better. 
    4. Storage: At least 24 GB available. More is better. 
    5. Get familiar with VirtualBox. We'll be using it, because it's free a=
s in beer and Free as in Liberty/Libre/Freedom.
