Hehe. My hacker alias (Corith Malin) is a Certified Linux Administrator.
Hehe. I thought that was hilarious. I put it on all my resumes *grin*

Digging up some ancient history. I recently saw an ad for www.lpi.org ,
who do similar testing. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Greetings:
I know that some of you have used BrainBench (http://www.brainbench.com/) to
one extent or another, so I have some questions for you:
1) How accurately do you believe the tests are in determining
your skill level in any given topic?
2) Have their certifications helped you to gain new employment?
3) How much respect do you think these certifications are
accorded by your average employer?
Of course, if anyone thinks favourably on #3, that takes the bottom out of
the
CCNA/MCSE/etc. markets. ;-) These tests are definitely much cheaper.
So, what do you guys/gals think?

In the beginning there was data. The data was without form and
null, and darkness was upon the face of the console; and the Spirit of
IBM was moving over the face of the market. And DEC said, "Let there
be registers"; and there were registers. And DEC saw that they
carried; and DEC separated the data from the instructions. DEC called
the data Stack, and the instructions they called Code. And there was
evening and there was morning, one interrupt.
