That's a good question for LPI and LF officials. LPI already has collaborations with Comptia and Novell. But, in my opinion, it's not a bad thing to have some diversity.

We'll see how that turns out in the next years. > > > 2014-08-21 8:30 GMT+00:00 Alexandru Juncu <[email protected]>: > >> On 21 August 2014 11:23, ousmane sanogo <[email protected]> wrote: >> > Thanks >> > But what is best Linux Foundation vs. LPI? >> > i am LPIC-1 and i am studying to pass lpic-2 >> > >> >> I think it's really way too soon to tell.
