I'm already seeing LPI on the jobs sites. I'm in a hiring position at the moment, and should I need [1] new staff, I will *definitely* be looking for experience and/or commitment to proving casual experience through a reliable certification like LPI. I know what it takes, I know what it covers, I know precisely what the coursework involves. "Real companies" ... BIG companies ... are already supporting LPI as part of their own Linux certification schemes. I'm gobsmacked that you'd put the word certification in quotes when referring to LPI. It is community-built to satisfy the frustrations many of us have had with the proprietary world's certification efforts (which have more to do with marketing than anything else). - Jeff [1] or, should I be allowed to have... -- GNOME Summit 2003: New York, USA http://www.nylxs.com/events/gnome/ "Socks for the foot menu!" - Liam Quin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
