Sure, I know you weren't. But, that was just an example of how certification can go horribly wrong. Even disregarding Tekmetrics, there are so many different applications for FreeBSD administration (are you admining a lab where students will be using X, a mission critical server, or a small web site, or just a variety of different servers at an ISP). To accurately assure competency with FreeBSD, there'd have to be an infinite number of tests. However, I'd be willing to print up some certs at Kinkos for anyone who can write a Hello World program that compiles under FreeBSD. And hell, I'll stand by the certs too and perhaps even create a snazzy logo for web pages. :) - alex I thought felt your touch In my car, on my clutch But I guess it's just someone who felt a lot like I remember you. - Translator To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
