Its no different from Red Hat's whom I believe IBM also offers... http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/linux/l-lpic1-v3-map/l-lpic1-v3-map-pdf.pdf On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 7:31 PM, Slaya Chronicles - Geeko Acolyte <msiantuxlo...@gmail.com> wrote: > Boh, > > LPI is part of their Core Competency programme. > > But since the Govt is too used to the "vendor" system, they tend to > only appreciate vendor certifications. > > Eric > > > On Wed, Mar 30, 2011 at 7:26 PM, Boh Yap <bhy...@gmail.com> wrote: >> hi all, >> >> perhaps there should be a bit more information about LPI....
