&gt; &gt; T-3 weeks!<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; How well you prepare determines how fun Linux Camp will be, and h=
ow<br>
&gt; &gt; likely you are to pass the LPIC-1 exams on-site.<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt; Everyone is registered as a BYOB (bringing your own box). Here ar=
e<br>
&gt; &gt; my<br>
&gt; &gt; recommendations:<br>
&gt; &gt; <br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. Take a backup! You'll be moving very f=
ast and might break<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; something during camp. It would be a sham=
e to lose the pictures<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; or the thesis because you pointed a destr=
uctive command at the<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; wrong file-system.<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. Processor: At least 2 cores. More is b=
etter.<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. Memory: At least 2 GB. More is better.=
<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. Storage: At least 24 GB available. Mor=
e is better.<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. Get familiar with VirtualBox. We'll be=
 using it, because<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; it's<br>
&gt; &gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; free as in beer and Free as in Liberty/Li=
bre/Freedom.<br>
