All the generic unix books are 98% germane to FreeBSD. IMHO, a generic "unix" certification would be more useful than a FreeBSD-specific one. As an employee, I think I'd be more marketable that way. On the other side, any manager has certainly heard of "unix," but may not know about FreeBSD. I just quit a job where the Big Boss was obsessed with certifications because he was not competent to judge a person's qualifications for himself. True Story number 1 - Big Boss: "What do you do for fun?" Me: "Well, I've been playing around with this FreeBSD unix thing." BB: "Unix, eh? Would you be interested in pursuing an MCSE Certification?" True Story number 2 - Me (chatting with a customer): "So, you're looking for MCSEs?" Customer: "Hmph! An MCSE doesn't mean shit." -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org [place witty saying here] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
