I have a concern about the differences between the various BSDs. It seems an insurmountable task to make cert general enough to cover ALL flavors and all situations. Wouldn't make the most sense to concentrate on that which is common for the cert process of say a jr or sr admin. Then have seperate specialization for each BSD flavour? Then as some new BSD project comes out they could easily draft a cert for their specific blend based upon our guidelines, which I know we haven't written yet. Think of this as 'normalizing the cert' I'm just throwing outside the box ideas to see which ones stick to the wall and which ones knock it over...:) ___ Mikel King Optimized Computer Solutions, INC. 39 West Fourteenth Street Second Floor New York, NY 10011 www.ocsny.com t: 212.727.2100x132 f: 212.463.8402 ......
