Yes, let's mention yet another "not in upstream kernel, with the bonus of often required, non-GPL components allowed for 'personal use only' or 'evaluation' purposes." Of course, I'm "biased" because I work for Red Hat, not because I'm biased towards open standards and open source. ;) to make yourself some spare computers when you're > studying for LPIC exams isn't exactly rocket science.

Just a thought. Again and my "disclaimer" (which I'm wearing like a badge) ... I'm "biased" as I work for Red Hat, and Red Hat came up with libvirt, as well as oVirt, as well as DeltaCloud (and even managed to "drag" the Apache Foundation in with it [1]), etc... so users have a choice of Hypervisor and other technologies. – There was some movement afoot regarding opening the LPI-304 exam > to people who hadn't taken all the other exams before.

But that's another story. ;) > before being allowed to become an LPI-certified virtualisation guru when > all you > wanted in the first place is to become an LPI-certified junior > virtualisation technician, but there you go.

Why am *I* the only person that brings up open standards that are well adopted -- even before we visit open source that is 100% upstream -- instead of diving into the "brand name" and "marketing" stuff? If anything defines my "bias," it's that, more than anything. ;) What would you take out instead in order to make room? > I'd add one (1) Objective below LPIC-3 ... libvirt and virsh. Everything else can go into 304. Done.| -- "Biased" bjs -- Bryan J Smith - Professional, Technical Annoyance b.j.smith at ieee.org - http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith
