Indeed. :) Hence why I stated... "I wish CompTIA all the best in their new program, and I'm going to be watching closely. If they showcase new merits, then they will rewrite their history, in a positive way.
So let's all just sit back and let it happen, and re-evaluate after such." If I could make an analogy... LPIC is literally the experience-proven, 'public college.' Red Hat then fits the complementary 'private college' quite well too. CompTIA Linux+ is newly 're-founded,' semi-private 'magnet vocab secondary school' that previously shut its own doors and sent everyone to LPIC in its absence. No one here wants CompTIA to fail. That would be like wanting an animal shelter to fail. But it's unfair to 'evaluate' CompTIA right now. They literally just 're-opened' and have a lot of issues. And we don't want to be looking to them right now as a result. With time, they can change that, and we'd be wise to take note as they do improve. -- Sent from my Moto G7 Power, apologies for any brevity as well as the satanic versus of autocorrect Bryan J Smith - http://linkedin.com/in/bjsmith On Fri, May 3, 2019, 16:33 Fabian Thorns <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Fri, May 3, 2019 at 9:57 PM BHL <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Should LPI also use the CompTIA objectives? >> > > The short answer is 'no', I guess.
