[PLUG] Certification


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

This may not be very well-publicized.

I just signed up for Linux World Expo in New York and found out that 
SAIR-Linux is giving free review sessions and certification exams which would 
normally cost (they say) $5100.  It is for all attendees who have more than 
the (free) exhibits-only pass.

They are selling study materials for the tests at about $150.00 a pop, but 
the tests are still a good deal with that.  Anyone with a fair amount of 
experience should have no trouble with the tests.  Sample questions are here 
at:

If these are any indication, I may even have a fighting chance.

What's interesting is that, in the security section, they also test history 
(there's a question on who wrote the GPL) and ethics.  Very interesting.

They are also distro-agnostic.  They ask questions about general Linux as 
well as several specific questions about several distros (Debian, Slack, 
Caldera, Mandrake, RedHat, etc).

Anyway, I know Rupert was talking about LPI.  Here's an economical 
alternative.  I'll be trying it myself.
