Ref naming. I just looked at page 108 of http://www.bsdcertification.org/downloads/sr1_links.pdf
1) Get rid of anything that has certification in the name. That is implicit and doesn't need restating. 2) Get rid of Network. This cert isn't about switches, routers etc. People are already confused about correct terminology. If you are only going to do Two exams, then:- Junior level either:- BSD System Administrator BSD Server Administrator Senior level either:- BSD System Engineer BSD Server Engineer But you should also have a third:- BSD Workstation (or desktop) Engineer - I only add this as it takes some extra specialization to configure and SUPPORT xwindows and workstations. There are now Three BSD desktop solutions, and people want a workstation/desktop solution. You could also add thin-client to this although it is a server but with many clients but as it's strongly X-windows, it would add depth to this subject. If you added this one, then drop the system administrator/engineer and use server administrator/engineer. You could deal with X-windows superficially in the server courses, and massively in depth in the workstation/desktop level with emphasis or other xwindows solutions. You could even expand it to a fourth:- BSD Software Developer - for people that actually write code, although this would be hard to do. So basically:- 1) BSA - BSD Server Administrator - Administration of already installed and configured Server 2) BSE - BSD Server Engineer - Designs, Installs and configures servers with heavy emphasis on security and Intruder systems, backup configuration etc. 3) BWE or BDE - BSD Workstation/Desktop Engineer - In depth X-windows and user support, updates, thin-client and other X-windows issues. 4) BSD Developer Regards...Martin _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
