That's actually a _positive_ in my view. There is so much more to cover in the objectives. That's why I use it to teach everyone, including in RHEL-only shops. The only thing I've ever seen people argue is that it's a Computer Based Test (CBT). But that's not really a knock against LPI, but more against Microsoft and their 70 series of exams. Microsoft's sole 80 series, its Performance Based Test (PBT) series, test (which I took, it used the SuSE Practicum engine) was a chronic failure (the Practicum engine is fine, the Windows platform just wasn't good for it). > I like Red Hat, but the exams LPI goes beyond a Linux GNU, > that's right, because Red Hat RHCSA addresses the Red Hat system, > the LPI addresses Linux in the (Linux kernel), because Linux is the Kernel , > no use conheceer the Red Hat does not know the background Linux kernel, > Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE Enterprise are GNU Linux, or be a RHCSA is sysadmin GNU > Linux > Red Hat, one LPI is sysadmin Linux ( Linux kernel) and GNU Linux, regardless > of vendor. Well, I don't get into all that. I just focus on how much LPI covers, which is _not_ "optional" in my view. Even Cisco has to limit what the 2-day CCIE covers, because PBT requires time. That's why Cisco has additional, CBT exams as well, including specialties for the CCIE. > The LPI goes far beyond install and configure, you need to know the > parameter configuration as well as their proper locations and to that > server. Well, I wouldn't put it that way. I mean, even in a PBT, you have to be familiar with where things are, for quick reference, as well as to avoid looking up anything. If you're looking up things on a PBT, you're going to run out of time. Again, sorry for the tangent, which was caused by my not realizing, initially, that I was posting to the list. But I think LPI Certified Level 1 (LPIC-1) sells itself for the all-compassing nature of its objectives. It's why I teach them. -- Bryan J Smith - http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith E-mail: b.j.smith at ieee.org or me at bjsmith.me _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
