Hello,

Virtualization on Linux outside of VMware is not as premature as most people think. Granted, KVM/VMI is extremely new and therefore not used much but Xen has quite a following.

As for not covering web services, I think that is a mistake. The vast majority of Linux servers in use today are web servers. Mail and messaging does not even come in close to this for Linux usage. Granted this may open up a huge discussion and yes I run Linux on all but 2 or so less critical systems, but still most people in the enterprise are using Linux for Apache, compute clusters, and specific middle tier applications.

Best regards,
Edward Haletky

For example, I think that the Virtualization exam is premature. A lot is changing in the virt world right now and I, personally, would like to see

there may be a great degree of interest/support for this from certain
enterprise customers and distributions.

I agree

The "primary" topics that are being suggested for the follow up exams
are:
        Security
        Web Services
        Mail and Messaging
        High Availability and Virtualization

My opinion is that LPI's certifications seem, at least to me, more or
less geared towards supporting a generic non-IT related enterprise
with a linux related infrastracture.  In that context, Security, HA
and perhaps Mail-Messaging make much more sense to me than Web
Services.
