As one of LPI's founder's I think we did a good job on our first level
of certification (it's called LPIC1 or "el-pik-one). The second level is
just beginning development as we're about to begin our second job task
analysis survey. I think that Red Hat's certification is good also. The
biggest differences are that their tests are hands on and ours are not
and their tests are designed specifically for Red Hat Linux and LPI's
tests are as vendor neutral as we could make them. One other difference
is that LPI is a community based organization, structured as a
non-profit corporation. We have involved people from all over the
world... (see www.lpi.org to see what I mean) and we're inclusive as
opposed to exclusive! :-)
