1. I would definitely start with Novell's information to get on the right track.

   CLP info http://www.novell.com/training/certinfo/…
   CLP learning track http://www.novell.com/training/certinfo/…
   Self Study bundle (pricey at almost $900) http://shop.novell.com/servlet/controlle…
   Downloads for SuSe linux (server and desktop) http://download.novell.com/index.jsp?sou…
   (Novell's download will probably be time limited)

   Here's OpenSuse for a totally free, unrestricted copy,
   http://en.opensuse.org/welcome_to_opensu…

   From there, I would recommend reviewing the objectives and outlines of each course on Novell's CLP site http://www.novell.com/training/certinfo/…

   Each of the course listings on the starting page include additional details for objectives and course outlines,

   3070 - Upgrading to Certified Linux Professional 10 http://www.novell.com/training/coursewar…
   3071 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Fundamentals http://www.novell.com/training/coursewar…
   3072 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Administration http://www.novell.com/training/coursewar…
   3073 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Advanced Administration http://www.novell.com/training/coursewar…

   When I was earning my CNE/MCNE's for various versions of NetWare, I had the most success by learning the objectives, practicing hands on with the OS, then reviewing the actual admin and user manuals.

   Best wishes.
