As for how much about these topics to include in the course, I think it really depends on the background you expect from the students. Are they new to Linux or new to computers?

I am upgrading some presentations for a LPIC-1 course. I reached the hardware topics. I know that the old topics included things like interrupts, ioports, ISA, alsa. I don't see mention of them in the current topics [0]. Then again I don't see mention of being removed either [1] (the removal of LILO was the only thing about hardware). So should these things be in a student course? I took the exam back in 2010, so I don't know how it looks now.

Projects wishing to adopt a set of best practices (such as those expressed by the Apache Software Foundation or the Eclipse Foundation) take their project to that community rather than expecting external certification. *Those seeking the services of a professional recognized by a given community may well prefer a certification from that community, such as that offered commercially by Red Hat, collegially by LPI, or by a community such as The Document Foundation.* ** *These certifications each presuppose a level of professional education appropriate to the tasks their scope embraces. All the same, they are granular, applying the best measures appropriate to the technology and skills under consideration, rather than trying to devise a general abstraction for "IT professionalism."* http://www.infoworld.com/d/open-source-software/it-certifications-cant-measure-capability-213660?page=0,0 </pre> Konstantinos Boukouvalas 2013-03-03T20:53:06 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lpi.discuss/1049 <pre>In this recent blog post for our "Community Corner", we provide a report on LPI's participation at FOSSC-Oman' 2013 See: http://www.lpi.org/blog/report-fossc-oman-2013 </pre> Scott Lamberton 2013-03-01T20:51:36 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lpi.discuss/1048 <pre>You are welcome Jorge!
