Suggestions to LPI

[rahim at geekmail.cc]

Hi William,

Good input, if I may make some comments, that others can comment on if they
would like :D

I would agree with you that LPIC-1 is difficult, I _think_ that the LPI has made
it that way because they dont want people to look at LPIC-x as another peice of
paper.  However as a Linux Proffessional I feel that the very basic underlying
components of the Operating System are well covered, not only that they have
managed to do so in a way that the knowledge applies to most if not all Linux
distributions.

With regards to your comment of where LPIC-x stands compared to X Y Z, I think
its irrelavent, I think the education recieved and skills tested are on a
totally different level, why is this?  Because, its vendor neutral.  Because as
as Linux Proffessionals we should be able to sit infront of any Linux Box and
feel  right at home.  Take instance when I was studying for my LPIC-2 I used a
P166 Toshiba Notebook running Slackware, Redhat and Knoppix.  I did everything
CLI and because of knowing that enviroment I can always feel at home in CLI mode
on any linux box.  

In terms of RHCE, I have talked with a few people who have their RHCE and would
say that LPIC-2 is if not equal, more difficult than LPIC-2.  The readings that 

I have come read some RHCE books, they seem to be heavily based on Redhat
Configuration Tools  (CLI and GUI) so they are not testing the same knowledge
base, of course, it does require superior skills to be able to manipulate or fix
configuration in CLI and on any distribution as opposed to redhat-network-config
(for example).

Anyway, Im done, let me know what you think.

R.
