Hey. That´s a point. From my own perspective (Germany) it is not that easy. The firms sometimes have not the greatest respect for lpi. They see RHCE as a great and good one and often feels, that LPI is only somethin nobody knows. If you talk to them and tell them who LPI is and what covers in exam they starts changing their view. But I think there is a lot of things to do in germany.
I would appreciate some PBT like by redhat or cisco. Why? Because some professionals told me that their way felt so wrong in LPI view, but the goal is the same. I think, that is only another approach for an exam and if someone got enough time to use man-pages, just do it :). I talked with LPI german about this topic and the main concerns was the possibility to take certifications worldwide and without much cost. That is a good point for me and a very very important one. But nevertheless,it should be a topic to think about in future.
