The Linux Professional Institute (LPI) and Canonical Ltd. have announced the development of a certification exam for the Ubuntu distribution. The certification will consist of a single exam on top of LPI’s existing 101 and 102 exams. Jim Lacey, President and CEO of the Linux Professional Institute, had this to say:
We have long considered LPIC-1 to be the entry-level professional certification for all Linux distributions. This collaborative initiative with Ubuntu clearly demonstrates how Linux software developers can leverage our existing distribution-neutral program to create professional certification programs for their own software packages
