Minor revisions are undertaken every 2.5 years with major updates happening at the 5 year milestone.

New exams reflecting these changes were originally scheduled for publishing on April 1, 2012 (LPIC-1) and July 1, 2012 (LPIC-2).

A comparison description of objective changes made between "old" and "revised" exam objectives will be available as "addenda" on http://wiki.lpi.org 1.1 Summary of Changes for LPIC-1 Minor changes to the objectives of LPIC-1 included in the new exams are as follows (July 2, 2012 for all available languages): - Explicit coverage at the basic configuration level of GRUB 2 - Explicit coverage of the ext4 file system - Basic feature knowledge of systemd and Upstart - Basic feature knowledge of IPv6 and LVM - Removal of LILO coverage 1.2 Summary of Changes for LPIC-2 Changes to the objectives of LPIC-2 included in the new exams are as follows (August 1, 2012): - Explicit coverage of the ext4 file system - Explicit coverage of the IPv6 - Basic feature knowledge of encrypted file systems - Basic feature knowledge of xfsdump/xfsrestore commands - Explicit coverage of Linux 3.0 kernel 2.

Hi,
So does that mean if someone passes the CompTIA Linux+ exam within this month it will be outdated after July02,2012? |
Got reply for LPI as "LPI certs are never outdated and have to renew in every five years".
Lets see what comes in the exam next week :) I hate memorizing these command options; it seems RHCE was much more easier than LPI as there was man/info. |
Hi guys,
I'm currently studying for the 201 exam and I'm trying to figure out if the updated objectives will take effect from 1 August or earlier, i.e. do I have to look into the new objectives in case I sit the 201 exam sometime next week? Thank you in advance! |
The syllabus for LPIC-2 will be same as before until August'01. If you make delay then you need to take a look at the new materials.
