LPI is filled with outdated, and in some cases red hat specific, things,

Yeezzz what a bully reply. The thing is when people understand the outdated
things, they are able to coop with the newer ones to. There are debian
specific things in LPI too. That's is because it covers all distributions
not just one.

and it's an old fashioned q&a style exam,

Enabling people from all over the world poor or rich to take the exame. The
old style q&a is with open several questions, so not easy (no gambling).
Statistics are performed on all answers so the exam level keeps right.
The questions are renewed about every 6 months, so there are no known
questions on the exam. Questions can be provided to the lpi organisation,
it's a bit like OSS.

where you have to remember
command line parameters. Even being an top expert on a modern linux
distribution isn't a guarantee that you'll pass LPI

What does that say about the expert? Perhaps too much specialized in one
area? Questions are being asked such way, that they are able to distinquish
an experienced (command line) user, from a brain dumper. You'll be able to
guess the right command option due to your experince with many tools, isn't
it?

I attended a nice presentation about certification and the advice is to get a
LPI certification, because of it broadness/seriousness/it's payable and
Novell because Novell has a practical exam and is payable. Redhat is not
adviced as it is expensive, one has to take the course, to fly to and to take
a hotel at the exam location for RHCE.
