I appreciate the consideration. I did not take offense.
However, I wrote my note understanding that people feel strongly on both
sides of the issue - pro-RHCE and pro-LPI. While I think the RHCE
provides the most valid measure of any cert exam, I do want to recognize
the efforts of the people behind LPI.
The RHCE exam is not cheap to take - or to give. However, I think it is
good enough for hiring managers to use - and people like Chadley's
supervisor to use to qualify people's basic administrative skills on
Linux.
Multiple choice exams are an economical way to test the basic skills of
a large number of people. There is a demand to qualify a large number of
people in Linux skills. And I think the LPI is as good as they come -
for a multiple choice exam. Is it good enough to help hiring managers
qualify Linux sysadmins? As I am not a hiring manager, I would rather
not comment.
Thanks,
Mike
