“It has been a very busy year for the Linux Professional
Institute. At shows and convention halls around the world, people
are interested in Linux*, and people want to know more about where
Linux is headed and the demands that will be placed upon the
administrators of these systems. The spectrum of the interested
Linux participant runs the full scale. From the outright beginner
who doesn’t have a clue what all the buzz is over this new
operating system, to the down and dirty hands on faster than a
speeding bullet kind of person; everyone wants to be a player in
the Linux game.”
“The Linux Professional Institute invites all Linux
enthusiasts and professionals to participate in their certification
exams and become known as an LPI -1, LPI -2 or LPI -3 Professional.
This certification is currently being recognized by IBM, SGI, HP,
SuSE, and TurboLinux, a partial list. Since the first exam was
taken; just a few months ago in June; there have been exams taken
in almost every part of the globe. The top five countries (for most
tests taken, in descending order) were the U.S, Germany, Canada,
Netherlands, and Japan. But, there were participants from Taiwan,
Switzerland, Pakistan, Ethiopia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Ecuador
and many more.”
