Compiling the kernel has always been the bread and butter of a Unix system administrator or even just an advanced user. Just because binary packages exist doesn't mean that one should not be able to compile a custom kernel. It's not even really that difficult and you don't even have to install it. I compile most of my applications on Debian using pkgsrc. The entry in the Objective page is obsolete, so are many entries in other LPI certifications. I reported a few gross mistakes in the BSD Specialist objectives but it appears it fell on deaf ears. -- Ottavio Caruso A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
