Confused by which is which re: what you're trying to say :-). > you shouldn't also assume that some one without papers > learns by trial and error. i'm quite sure most people on > this list have extensive experience with linux and no > paper to show for it but we still pick up linux material > to read even if there's no certificate to be awarded > afterward. Like I said earlier on in this thread, one shouldn't confine reading to "papers" and "certifications". Just because you don't have a certification of some kind or form, doesn't mean you didn't learn something by reading. I encourage reading + experience. If your reading turns into a certificate, good for you. If it reinforces your experiences, good for you too. That is why if I'm hiring, I can't look at only one or the other - each potential hire possesses their individual merits that may or may not directly relate to their level of theoretical or practical exposure.
