LPI 修改認證政策

大意是說，雖然 LPI 屬於中立機構，不跟其他的套件瞎起閧，但是由於 Linux Kernel 也不斷的在更新，致使他們必須修改他們的認證政策，以符合現今詭侷多變（？）的 Linux 環境。

好，重點來了：

People who already have their LPIC (Linux Professional Institute Certification) will have to re-certify every five years or, alternatively, earn a higher certification status.

以後每五年要 re-certify 一次，而且：

To get recertified, candidates must pass all up-to-date exams that are required for their highest earned certification designation. After recertifying, the certification is good for five years.If someone doesn't recertify and allows their certification status to lapse, they will be required to earn both their highest and all lower level certification designations.

必須通過已取得最高等級的所有考試。如果你沒在五年內完成，就要全部重考！


等等，還有更殘酷的...

All certification designations earned before Sep. 1, 2004 will no longer be considered "lifetime" designations, and instead will only have active status for five years from the date of certification. However, certification designations earned prior to September 1, 2003 will be considered "active" certifications until Sep. 1, 2008.

原本在 2004/9/1 前取得的認證是所謂的「Lifetime」型，終生有效，但是現在全部取消，一律改為五年；而在 2003/9/1 前取得的，全部都到 2008/9/1 截止...


恩，FUCK，要認真考慮去衝個 Level 2 了...
