On the other hand, no one owns mathematics either, but (I hope) my math degree certifies that I know something. I think it's encouraging that there's sufficient demand for LInux sysadmins that such certifications are being made available. The value of such a certification, of course, depends on the reputation of the company giving it. Just my .02 On Sun, 16 Jan 2000, Alexander Daniloff wrote:

I've seen 3-4 differant places offering "Linux Certification" with 3-4 differnt test for "Linux Certification" but have a couple questions.
Which is the offical test for Linux? Since Linux is not from a central location, anyone can give a "Linux Certification", but it might not mean anything unless it is a real judgement and test of the Linux skills and knowledge of the person taking the test.
I really don't understand why anybody can claim an authorization to perform "Linux Certification" and issue of any documents regarding Linux?
To put it another way, if you have a Red Hat Certification, it means you know a decent about how to use Red Hat Linux and have the skills to back it up. But since there is not central place that gives "Certification" to the Linux Certification centers, any one of the street could make up a bogus or somewhat less profiecent Linux certification test.
Do we really need that some money greedy guys had rights to sertify you Linux skills?
I would like to take the Linux Certification test just to see if I really know what I am talking about or if my ego has taken control of my brain again, but don't really know /which/ test is the "real" Linux Certifiication test, and don't know what test will /really/ test my skills/knowledge in a fair and unbyassed manner.
I don't mean any disrespect to any companies, tests or people having to do with Linux certifaction, I am just wondering why there are so many tests and what would be really the best test to take.
I would prefer to disrespect and band to support of any company who decides to provide "Linux Certification" of any kind. Because it is not their own operating system and they have no more rights on Linux than you and me.
Thanks, Alex
