Hello, Kaushal! First of all, LPIC1,2,3 are certifications. They are junior, advanced and senior level for Linux System Administration (if you are familiar with Cisco, they are kind of CCNA, CCNP, CCIE of Linux sysadmins). Linux Essentials is a new certification track for Linux Beginners (it's something like LPIC 0,5). Linux Essentials require one exam while the other usually two (LPIC-1 needs 101 and 102, LPIC-3 needs 201 and 202 etc.) You can see the curricula of each of them on the site. Now for the related projects. Comptia had its own certification called Linux+ (onw curicula, own exams). They partnered up with LPI and now the "CompTia Linux+ powered by LPI" (or something like that) certification is based on the same curricula as LPIC-1. It's just offered through CompTia. The Nover partnership gives holders of the LPIC-1 certification the equivalent Novel CLA certification. If you get a LPIC-1 certification (pass the exams) you send an email to Novell and after they verify your credentials, they will also offer their certificate without any other exam. Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ lpi-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-discuss
