LPI and Mandrakesoft Partner to Promote Linux Training Standards

LPI has news of their partnership with Mandrake to promote the adoption of standard, vendor-neutral, Linux certification and training materials. Mandrake has been using LPI's material for their own material and programs.

LPI has been working hard to promote a specific training plan that people and businesses can use to set a path for Linux training.

It has been interesting in how LPI has been garnering support from other organizations outside of Red Hat and Novell. LPI is almost working to have everyone else identify that they are the standard bearers for the Linux community. This shows up in both their stance as a vendor-neutral organization and the fact they are standing by the Linux Standards Base as the core of their material.

I think LPI's stance on the above will take them a long way in the industry in the coming years.
