And in case you haven't seen it, I'm an opinionated SOB. I don't hide it, candy coat it or otherwise attempt to defend it. My opinions are just my opinions and I understand that. So don't see them as "law." But as always, there is a method to my madness ... > Because from these objectives we have to write _tasks_. > And the tasks _are_ the exam. ;-> And that's my focus. I'm going to spend the next 1-2 weeks filling in my ELResource for 3 domains (auth/dir/name, file/print and security) and from that, I'll let people pick apart what they think should and shouldn't be the initial objectives for the initial tasks for the initial exams. I'd rather put down some real-world concepts, practices and tasks on that site as a resource, more inclusive, and then directly feed them into the LPI process as other people feel what they are and aren't important. It's also the best way I can actually show people what enterprise Linux administrators, consultants and architects have to deal with -- in their entirety -- which I hope will attract many other enterprise peers who didn't know about LPIC-3 development, but will also join. We are often used the the "pigeon-hole" of the commercial software world where people use "single product X" or "integrated technology Y" to do something. God knows I see this on many support lists -- most people unaware that there are other aspects to a single service. UNIX/Linux has been, and will always been, numerous layers of services implementing select technologies -- each doing their part in a combined effort for a stable, reliable and "as needed" set of services. -- Bryan J.
