Well currently there are rumors of certification coming for FreeBSD, however several avenues of 'FreeBSD'ification' already exist: 1) contributing code. 2) maintaining websites for FreeBSD reasources. These two options can speak so much more for someone than just certification. So until and even after certification becomes available, contributing towards will speak a whole lot more for you than passing an exam (no matter how tough). -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
