I suspect that the difference here highlights two fundamentally
opposed ways of thinking about what Level III is. Either it is "top
tier admin certification" or it is "for folks who want to specialize".
We have to decide which of those Level III will be, for useful
discussion of what to include/exclude from Level II to be possible at
all.
Who is expected to attempt Level III LPI certification? Is it for
(a) folk who want to specialize, that is, demonstrate a few special
skills within the Linux admin universe
or is it
(b) experienced corporate level admins who want to attest to their
overall high skill and knowledge levels at dealing with complex or
large scale "enterprise-level" system administration, as a whole
I don't know the answer. But until there *is* one, it is going to be
very hard to sensibly discuss what to include in (or exclude from)
Level II.
Could someone (anyone) clarify this, please?
Thanks,
Jonathan
