Scott I recieved this response from i...@lpi.org.
"Good news: people with LPIC-2 and 303/304 only will be grandfathered into the new structure and get certified Bad news: It won't happen until the formal change to the programme in the fall Good news: It also means that the cert if good for 5 years from that time and not when you wrote the exam" Can you confirm this? I read the e-mail you just sent regarding the changes in LPIC-2 and LPIC-3. Nothing was said about this.
