It's a good cause and doable, but the certification may not be recognized in other countries. If people put it in their resume, Human Resources of other companies only recognize Comptia's Linux+, LPI and Redhat certificates. I've personally seen people having their certificates seen as worthless by the HR except if it's a global certificates, like the A+, CCNA, etc. Stupid I know, but that's the reality. That's where the problem lies. I'm not putting the ph-linux-certification project down, but i'm just stating the harsh reality of what's going on. regards, --- Andre M.
