The newer, the better hardware support, so I'd recommend CentOS 5** and Debian 4. Virtually all objectives will be covered, with only a few exceptions. If you run into hardware issues, then consider Fedora and Ubuntu, respectively. And don't forget to consider SuSE, as it is a major player too. > I want one that matches LPI objectives now.

I wouldn't fret it. In fact, if you are so concerned about it, run through the _entire_ set of objectives with the OSes yourself, before you _dare_ teach a class. You do this normally, yes? ;) -- Bryan **NOTE: I wouldn't be "doing my job" if I didn't recommend that you let your students know they can request a full RHEL Client or Server box from Red Hat.

Red Hat does not have a single product that "run-time expires," only RHN subscription expirations for updates (or RHN Satellite expirations, if companies are hosting themselves, instead of the RHN hosted option). There is also the $99 Platform+Middleware (RHEL + JBoss) development subscription for developers. -- Bryan J Smith Professional, Technical Annoyance mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith ------------------------------------------------------------- Fission Power: An Inconvenient Solution _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
