They might know that Android is based on Linux, but is this > relevant to check at the 010 exam? I don't think so. Aside from the kernel, they are different OSes. Android has a different filesystem layout, a different GUI, a different security model and user management system, different API to do many things, different package management... it's Android, not a Linux distribution.

I do not agree on this point. LPI should keep being vendor-independent. I think Raspberry Pi users are a minority of Linux users. And you can also run Fedora Remix or Arch linux on a Raspberry Pi.
