Some of us 'steal' bits of code - theres a lot of oreily javascript on my website - does that make me a fraud ?
*You* are not promoting Linux certifications, Sheridan. LPI is promoting itself in and from the Linux community as a public standard and resource. It is fair game for criticism like this. And don't naively suggest that there is just one borrowed "snippet"... the layout of the whole site and indenting of the generated code is classic Dreamweaver with the comments stripped out. I actually interpreted "vim 6.0" as a subtle joke from the site developer to curious people like me but I still think, however, native Linux tools would be more appropriate given their visibility. The message this sends to those who know what they're looking at is that Linux tools aren't adequate, and that's just plain wrong! regards, Carl
