Subject: Re: Strategy to be followed in lab

Could not agree more Scott. In my attempt I had almost finished IGP, with
one strange redistribution task remaining when we broke for lunch. And my
L2/IGP was almost 60% of the points for the whole lab. When we were called
to lunch, I sure that my pace was fast enough. This was only so, because I
had read the lab 3 times (!!!).

But I would say the config part greatly depends on one's ability to move on
incase you get stuck on a non-core question thats 2 points but is taking
forever to figure out.

Just my opinion...

Piyoush.
