Sample exams won't be totaly useless however, the core remains unchanged only the X configuration part is out, with more emphasis on boot n startup, also weight points are distributed more evenly through the objectives. And I would imagine the number of questions is reduced from previous version. It might leave the impression that the new test is easier than prevous one. In my view, LPI sets its candidates up to fail. Check the FAQ section of LPI's website for example: they insist on testing for obscure or rarely used options of tools/features in order to weed out the inexpirienced candidates. Mind though that exam 101 is testing Junior SysAdmin. If that junior sysadmin has expirience, he/she wouldn't be junior anymore, right? Seems that mindless repetition and patterns memorization would be the norm when preparing for their exams. As far as the market for guide books for these exams, there are two available right now with the updated objectives, but don't get your hopes high- they don't get exactly raving reviews from their readers (at least that's the case with reviewers on amazon.com)...
