LPI 101 is real horrorshow

| Hi Folks,
The LPI 101 Exam is a very difficult exam.
I have passed all three Solaris certs, and this was a tougher exam than any of those formidable beasts.
I purchased the cert21 LPI Part 1 questions, used the exam cram, O'Reilly book and worked on a red hat box. The books are good, but don't waste your time with cert21. Not a single question even vaguely resembled the actual exam.
The cert21 questions are all written from Emmet Dulaney's LPI examcram Cram Sheet at the beginning of the book. How do I know this? Two things: The order of the topics are (incredibly) exactly the same, and check out the /usr/skel error on the Cram Sheet. Exactly the same as in Cert21's question. Coincidence? Maybe, but I'll never use their tests again.
Good luck to all taking on the LPI certs. Know your text processing inside and out. | |

| In my opinion, the examcram sheet is very accurate in terms of the material presented (I took and completed LPIC in August).
If you take a look the LPI test objective: http://www.lpi.org/p-obj-101.html
In fact, the "order" of material in the cram sheet is not a proprietory exam cram sheet order. It is just the order published by LPI. LPI has been very clear in listing the orders of materials as well as the command / filename to remember. | |

| I remember I was having arguments with my friends who took LPI exams about /usr/skel, as it appeared in the exam with quite funny wordings. Examcram does not give clear exaplanation too.
One good source to find out some further explanation is http://rute.sourceforge.net/.
I found the following description about /usr/skel: This directory contains a template home directory for the user. If you configure a new user manually: Copy the entire directory and all its contents into /home directory, renaming it to the name of the user.
In my exam, I picked /usr/skel. |
