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
