I mean they focus a different approach. Not really the case for LPI-related books, you'll see that most of us have been around the field for quite a while, been trainers and sysadmins and know that you have to have "street" knowledge in order to pass the LPI exams. > Reading one book for LPI and just doing the LPI certification like > provide the correct answer doesn't mean you are up with linux ;-) You must have these exams mixed up with Microsoft exams, I've been the proctor/instructor for thousands of students and I have yet to see someone successfully guess their way past the "fill in the blank" questions that are a prominent feature of the LPI exams. Having to try every command and do most of every task live at least a couple of times is great preparation and I have found that I would willingly hire most of my successful students to be a sysadmin. In short, it's no paper cert. > I always write my answer above - so the news are above, and the > reference is below.
