Slightly offtopic, but I think LPI should reconsider the 'legacy' policy. I think that LPIC-1 at least should be more generic, with only the things that are widely used (and the things that we know will be widely used in a couple of years). And the things that 'are still in use' but with limited scope, should be something for the more specialized LPIC-2. LPIC-1 is getting to more and more people. Training a lot of people on things that are used in only a handful of situations, doesn't make much practical sense. But I do agree that we need specialists that know how to use some legacy things that are still critical. But that's why LPIC-2 is an Advanced level and not a Junior level certification. So detail things should be in LPIC-2 and not in 1. _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list [email protected] http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
