Under this program, CompTIA will adopt LPI's Level One certification exams (LPIC-1) for its CompTIA Linux+ certification. This innovative program will enable successful candidates to earn both the new "CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI" certification and the existing LPIC-1 certification. ?Our collaboration with LPI is an important and significant step in building a robust workforce that is educated and certified in all aspects of Linux,? said Todd Thibodeaux, president and chief executive officer, CompTIA. ?By combining CompTIA?s recognized leadership in IT certification with LPI?s high-quality Linux exam development processes, we?re strengthening the quality and reach of this vital skills certification.? With independent reports indicating that the number of Linux jobs in 2009 grew as much as 5 percent and that there was a 10 percent salary premium for IT professionals with enterprise Linux skills, this joint effort by CompTIA and LPI will enable IT professionals to gain two vendor-neutral Linux certifications for the price of one. ?LPI has long been recognized as the leading vendor-neutral provider of Linux certification. With this new initiative we join a widely recognized non-profit association of the leading vendors in the IT industry. For CompTIA's candidates, they will have access to LPI's higher level programs and certifications in Linux,? said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI. ?This initiative with CompTIA represents our shared commitment to professional IT workforce development and ensures we will have a strong community of Linux professionals in the future,? added Lacey. Under the terms of the agreement CompTIA will adopt LPIC-1 exams (LPI-101 and LPI-102) for the new CompTIA Linux + Powered by LPI certification. CompTIA LX0-101 and LX0-102 exams will be offered at the same price as LPIC-1 exams. Consequently, those passing the CompTIA Linux+ powered by LPI exams will qualify for both the CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI certification and the LPIC-1 certification. The new CompTIA Linux+ Powered by LPI certification will not be available in Japan. The current CompTIA Linux+ exam will retire in Japan on April 30, 2010.

To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi, Is there already study material available? Michael >>> Rodolfo Mart?nez<[email protected]> 19:35 Sun, Feb 7, 2010 >>> I agree with Jon You can set up almost any environment using virtualization. I've been a Linux workshop teacher for some years now and virtualization has been a crucial part for our sessions. Below is the virtual environment that I setup for every participant: Host server: Use it for any firewall / routing / network practices and testing. "Primary" Linux virtual instance: Acts as a primary server for all services (DNS, NIS, LDAP, etc). "Secondary" Linux virtual instance: Acts as a secondary/backup server for the services in the primary virtual server. "Client" Linux instance: Acts as a client for the configured services in the primary and secondary servers. "Client" Windows instance: Acts as a client for the configured services in the primary and secondary servers. Very useful for testing the Windows and Linux integration (LDAP, SAMBA, VPN, etc.) Regards Rodolfo Mart?nez On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 9:08 AM, Jon 'maddog' Hall <[email protected]> wrote: > > Marcus, > > A very good point about setting up your own server(s) using > virtualization to learn about systems administration. > > >The advantage is, that if your server is somewhere else you learn more > >about networks, routes etc. (which you should know from LPIC-1 anyway). > > Yes and no.
