Hi all.
I'm reviewing some LPIC-1 materials and it strikes me that the 109.2
Persistent network configuration topic still speaks of
/etc/network/interfaces when modern distributions, for some time now,
no longer provide that file .
it is no matter how old an system is. It just depends on the network
configuration tools you - or the distribution - use.
Fedora no longer has the network directory in /etc and Ubuntu (I'm
assuming also Debian - didn't check), still has the directory, but no
longer the file exists.
Like Harald already pointed out on Debian 12 it is still present.
And also Proxmox (which is no old distribution) using a Debian 12 base
is using that file for their network configuration.
You might also use other network config tools like systemd-networkd or
NetworkManager on your distribution if they are provided.
It's on you choosing what you like most and what fits your needs.
I know that NetworkManager exists and tools like nmtui and mncli do
all the work, but isn't it time for LPIC to update itself ?
I'm reading the Learning Materials v5.0 provided by LPI on their website.
Those Learning Materials fit for the actual exam which is also available
in v5.0. That means the materials have to cover the exam objectives.
With changes in the objectives and new exam version there will be
changes in the learning materials.
I'm sure other distros still provide those files and on Fedora we can
still install (not more recent versions) network-scripts package , but
how can a student practice if those files are no longer available ?
The tools are available, but they don't have to be the preselected in
your distribution. To study for LPI sometimes mean to also have a look
on other distributions to get an overall view.
I - for my part - would find it quite hard to try apt-get/dpkg package
management on Fedora or using zypper/rpm on Debian.
