Bryan, I,m not having a go at you, but, in that case, I apologise for being too old (fellow gen-X almost boomer here) and for getting on the Open Source bandwagon when there were no containers, no dockers, no GUI-automated front ends to anything, when boot loaders and boot scripts could be edited by hand, when bug reports and patches were sent to, and solved on, mailing lists and/or IRC channels (those backward primitives at *BSD still do that. Cavemen!). There was a time when being in the Open Source community required no certifications; when mentioning Linux or Unix at work would trigger a disciplinary procedure (it happened to me circa 2006/7 and in one occasion this was a company selling Linux-based products) and it required a certain mental discipline. Linux is still my daily driver, but when I read (paraphrasing) "I've been certified for 10 years, why doesn't such and such use a certain email address, and by the way I don't give a toss about mail etiquette", then I want to crawl back to my NetBSD cave. P.S.: Yearly reminder that the BSD Specialist cert still lacks learning materials and that the wiki still contains inaccuracies that I reported long time ago. -- Ottavio Caruso A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
