Certification is intended to make you look good to potential employers or clients. These are the sort of people who wouldn't understand the nitty-gritty details if you clubbed them over the head with it. All they see is a resume heavily spiced with TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms), and they (apparently) believe them to be significant. Those people think in "Bottom Line Deliverables" speak. The sort of day in and day out ability to problem solve, know or understand history, or come up to speed in time to resolve a technical situation, apparently has no meaning for them. They're incapable of making judgements on that basis. LPI attempts to produce criteria that they are used to making judgements on. LPI is not about useful skills for a _user_ of Linux. It's about convincing someone with the gold that you can be useful to him. Most of the suggested answers to LPI sample questions I've seen have been at best simplistic, and often just plain wrong. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
