[OT?] CISSP training guidance requested

[Bill Tangren]

I have a Linux background, but I am now the Information Assurance Manager
here, and I have been "requested" to obtain CISSP certification. What I'd
like to know is,

1) anyone out there been certified, and willing to give pointers?

If so,

2) what prerequisites will I need? What should I study?

3) are "boot camps" the way to go to get the certification?

4) how long before should I prepare for the exam?

5) Any study materials available on the web, or elsewhere?

Any advice is appreciated.
