I did both of the LPI ones. Firstly thoroughly recommend them, if not to get certified but just for learning more about the OS that we all use.
What is LPI exactly?
The Linux Professionals Institute, a vendor neutral Linux certification body. Linux Australia are their Australian representatives.
If you have some or a lot of Unix knowledge then you will benefit. The basics are that it will force you to go through a lot of commands that you might never have used. Once you know them you wil lbegin using them.
Nice. I like the sound of that.
I've been a Unix userspace programmer / admin since 1997, and a user since 1995. I learnt stuff for LPIC-1 which I would never have otherwise, because it made me think about areas I'd never needed to before. It was a nice learning experience, without being insurmountable.
The understanding of a number of underlying issues with Linux like the FHS makes you life easier.
Worth much more than the $150 cost.
I believe the normal rate is about $200 per exam. LPIC-1 and LPIC-2 are two exams each.
Cheers, Mikal
