To be honest, my approach to adding topics for the exams is more based on
whether the technology is being used.  Not just whether it's included in a
distro.

SELinux is definitely starting to come around to its own.  I think it's just
a matter of time.  But, for example, the lack of adoption (in this case,
mostly because it's so new and unproven in the field) is why we decided not
to add Tomoyo to the 303 exam.

Well, I'm a little surprised to hear this.  In this update, we added
apt-cache, aptitude (yes, we added yum, too, but that was to catch up to the
debian level on package management), xfs, more postfix (and less sendmail),

We also dropped RPM config files and chattr (if you link ext3 to RH).

In the 301 exam, we cover OpenLDAP and none of the FDS system.


Can you be more specific on what leads you to the conclusion that LPI is
getting more RH-centric?


PS - I'm a mostly debian (server) and ubuntu (desktop; but really because I'm
too distracted to care about my desktop) user.  I was a RH user from the
3.0.3 version back in 1996 to 7.2 earlier this decade but our company
transitioned to debian and now really only support RH when the client
expresses a preference.

PPS - I'm speaking for Starnix (not LPI).
