It's a matter of semantics to me. LPIC-1, to me, is a level for qualifying a technical person that is serious about progressing in his career and wants to demonstrate a great knowledge base in the field. "system admin" would definitely qualify as a description of LPIC-1. "network admin" is not at the LPIC-1 level (that's LPIC-2/3). However, I would trust someone with an LPIC-1 to also, with appropriate additional training and experience, to be able to go into the developer arena with confidence. This is why I would like to steer away from calling LPIC-1 an 'admin' cert. I realize that 'power user' is not a great description either. The best description that I've come up with so far is a "Technical Linux Professional" or a "Linux Professional" (I guess the LPI name wasn't such a bad idea :)). ie, not just a user, but not quite a developer or a network admin or ...
