I think that any Unix certification would do - most managers would not be able to tell the difference between SCO and BSD and IRIX; it's all "Unix" to them. I was lucky enough to get my work to pay for several courses at HP, and got my certification in HPUX. HPUX is a good Unix to learn, because it contains features from both BSD and SYS V Unix. There are also Unix certification courses in several training companies like Learning Tree and others - don't know if they teach BSD or what though. - M - On Sun, 9 Jan 2000, Laurence Berland wrote: > Since there is no FreeBSD certification AFAIK, what sort of > certifications are good, if nothing else for a resume and such.
