This is because you can't very well use Linux without ls(1), but it is perfectly possible to use Linux without virtualisation. Virtualisation is surely a nice thing to have but let's not go overboard here. It's just as well to remember that LPIC-1 is not supposed to be an exam for system administrators. It does cover some system administration but – unlike LPIC-2/3 – its target population is »Linux professionals« in general. Which is not to say that Linux professionals should not know about virtualisation, but at LPIC-1 level there still are bigger fish to fry. > > What would you take out instead in order to make room? > > This is too dangerous to answer.

On the other hand we can't keep cramming new topics into the exams, however important they may seem, or eventually we will get to a point where every exam consists of 60 different objectives, each with weight 1. I would be in favour of a policy where whoever suggests an entirely new topic to be added to LPIC-1 or LPIC-2 should also come up with a well-argued proposal of what other topic (or topics) to remove in order to make room. This is not as much of an issue in LPIC-3, where we can always make another exam ;^) Anselm -- Anselm Lingnau ... Linup Front GmbH ...
