trying to stay on top of my "list" mail...
the CLP has some LPI'isms, but the CLP is a practical test (you
configure a system successfully in a specific fashion) and the CLP is
SUSE "centric" (it applies to all distro's, but it's administered on
SLES).
The LPI was harder for me because the questions that were asked were of
utilities that I had not used in forever and a day and I had forgotten
the switches. I use SLES regularly and that practical test was fairly
straightforward since I do a lot of that every day! Besides...practical
tests are easier for me anyway...guess it's how my mind works ;).
