Somehow I'd doubt it. When I wrote the 101 & 102 exams the things I did poorly on were things I'd read about but didn't have much direct experience with. On 101 (hardware & architecture), that would have been SCSI, USB, apt, remote X sessions, and on 102 (administration) it was printer administration, dhcp and NFS. The rest of it, like http, dns, mail, compiling software and using the common tools, were fine because that was what I spent most of my time doing with linux. At the time I had 8 or 9 years unix experience but only a couple of years with linux and system administration. I'm sure that you'd have no problem if you're at all familiar with the linux-specific stuff. At any rate, I prefer LPI over the other linux certifications. It's hard enough to be meaningful and it doesn't expire or tie you to a particular vendor. Gosh, 25 years. You must be old ;-). -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
