You need to put the question in context. What is the man command used for? A) It displays information about the syntax for a command. B) It is the replacement for the boy command. C) It is a standard alias to ls -la | more. D) It is used to display formatted HTML pages. With all IT Certification Exams I have seen or taken (Microsoft, Cisco, ITIL, Novell), there is usually one answer which you can discount. I would interpret this sample question as demonstrating that point, albeit in a very obvious manner. Some of the other questions at http://www.lpi.org/eng/certification/the_lpic_program/lpic_1/exam_101_sa mple_questions are less obvious. For example: What command sends the output of cmd1 to the input of cmd2? A) cmd1 | cmd2 B) cmd1 || cmd2 C) cmd1 && cmd2 D) cmd1 ; cmd2 E) cmd1 cmd2 Bill ________________________________ From: ubuntu-uk-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-uk-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of John Stevenson Sent: 19 April 2010 16:06 To: UK Ubuntu Talk Subject: Re: [ubuntu-uk] LPIC vs CompTIA Linux+ On 19 April 2010 15:03, David <david.lut...@gmail.com> wrote: What does everybody think about these certifications?

B) It is the replacement for the boy command. To answer the question, I agree that LPI is the certification most talked about. I am a little dubious about certification as it usually tests memory rather than understanding. If you are starting out as a Linux admin, it is useful to have for your CV though. -- John Stevenson jr0cket.com leanagilemachine.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
