Well, to be fair, the RHCE exam is good, IMO, since it contains two
hands-on sections and is not just multiple choice exams.

However, the LPI exams are no push-over either.

The great thing is, you can learn something new every day. For example,
since my LapTop moves around a lot, I wanted a way to change the setup
automatically when I use PPP, and then set it back when I plug the wireless
card back in and bring up Eth0.

I already knew about /etc/ppp/ip-up.local, but a little rummaging around in
the network startup scripts turned up /sbin/ifup-local ... Perfect for what
I want.
