No major update this year

I propose we do not do a major update on LPIC1 this year, because the next major update should cover systemd. Covering systemd requires substantial changes to a big part of the LPIC1 objectives. But systemd is not much used in production systems right now, and will probably not be in the next 2 years.

Objectives that need change if we'd cover systemd

101.1 Determine and configure hardware settings - 2 Conceptual understanding of sysfs, udev, hald, dbus.

101.2 Boot the system - 3 Demonstrate knowledge of the boot sequence from BIOS to boot completion. Check boot events in the log files.

101.3 Change runlevels and shutdown or reboot system - 3 Set the default run level. Change between run levels including single user mode. Knowledge of basic features of systemd and Upstart.

104.3 Control mounting and unmounting of filesystems - 3 Configure filesystem mounting on bootup.

106.2 Setup a display manager - 2 /etc/inittab

107.2 Automate system administration tasks by scheduling jobs - 4 Manage cron and at jobs. Configure user access to cron and at services.

107.3 Localisation and internationalisation - 3 Locale settings. Timezone settings.

108.1 Maintain system time - 3 Set the system date and time. Set the hardware clock to the correct time in UTC. Configure the correct timezone.

108.2 System logging - 2 syslog configuration files. syslog. standard facilities, priorities and actions.

109.2 Basic network configuration - 4 Manually and automatically configure network interfaces.
