Has anyone taken the Novell SUSE classes / certification programs? Any comments on their effectiveness?

Did not take the classes, just the clp test. I have the books for the classes. The test is a good measure of what you know, if you can do what you know, and do it in an organized timely fashion.

If you do not take the classes, then get a test system, and enjoy every possible scenario to configure a working system with users, groups, disk quotas, partitions, ACLs, httpd, samba, email, ssh, etc.

I think the best benefit is the satisfaction it is over :-)

Sounds similar to the RHCE training I took a few years ago. Despite having years of real world UNIX/Linux experience I would have never gotten through the test in the time allocated (6 hrs?) if I had not just finished four 4 days of intensive boot camp.

The 2 or 3 people who came into the class as Windows Admins with limited UNIX/Linux experience and trying to transition had no chance of getting through the test.

Hi list, - in addition, somewhere Novell has this Linux skills assesments test on the web. We (me and some VERY skilled young sharks) were trying this test out. All of us failed. Perhaps because the test itself was not very clear in its language, but what on the surface looked EASY, wasn't just so... - as stated in this thread, a MS-Windows sysadmin with limited or no Linux/Unix experience doesn't have a chance. An experienced Linux/Unix admin stands better, but get up early :-) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 www.os-academy.dk +45 5696 4223 Denmark.
