Hi
What do you think of The BSD Certification Group at bsdcertification.org?
i think it gives me a massive erection. the quality of an admin is
measurable directly as a function of the extraneous certifications they
have, duh!
Is this a good idea? From my perspective it looks like a smart marketing
way. A way to make money from people who think this would
help in some way.
if it were for non-BSD licensed OSes, i would totally agree, however i
think it's a legitimate move to give us BSD folks some sort of laurels
that appeal to stupid HR and mgmt types and not a move to hustle up cash.
Taking a certification doesn't prove anything imho. And the way that they
focus on the 4 different BSD's.. you could have someone being an expert
in OpenBSD yet he has never used DragonflyBSD, would this make him less
interesting to hire for a BSD specific job?
knowing one BSD implies a comparable level of skill in the other ones,
IMO. only a matter of figuring out the package utility and occasionally
using features unique to that BSD. there is also that deep throbbing
philosophical pain that overwhelms me when i use the other BSDs...
cheers,
