Hi Thomas, I can only take from comments like this in your e-mail that you would prefer to be argumentative rather than constructive. You've been invited to help LPI with it's exam content. It's your choice, no pressure here. There's a mailing list which I pointed out for you. Yet, you've managed to delete only that one part of the e-mail in your response. Further proof to me that you're more interested in arguing. Anyway, the guys on lpi-examdev love arguing so feel free to join and post your comments there. It would be more constructive in that forum. Lastly, it seems evident to me that you haven't even glanced at the new objectives. If you had, then you would have noticed that GRUB and LILO _ARE_ covered in LPIC-1 and GRUB and LILO _ARE_ covered in more depth in LPIC-2. You are correct on one thing, though. Installing "GRUB in the MBR ... is to [sic] simple". That is why boot loader installation is covered in LPIC-1. Before you continue your posturing, please keep in mind a couple of things. These exams were not created to test what _you_ know about Linux. They are created to test a MQC (Minimally Qualified Candidate), which you probably are not. You sound like you are well past that level. The information on what constitutes a MQC is available on the web site. Some questions are too easy and some are too hard on purpose. I'll leave you to guess (it's easy to guess, trust me) as to why this is so. And, yes, we confirm the difficulty/easiness statistically. The exam and objective content are constantly being improved. You have a grassroots organisation in LPI that was basically bootstrapped on volunteer and community goodwill. However, it has grown into an organisation responsible for the certifications of tens of thousands of people worldwide. This means that LPI is testing technologies that you may not be using but is being used by large groups of users in other regions. PS - Feel free to respond to me personally or on the lpi-examdev mailing list. I'm not participating in this thread any longer. PPS - I am not speaking officially for LPI. I'm speaking as a past and current volunteer.
