A Novell Linux Specialist?

Posted by Cliff on Wednesday October 22, 2003 @11:20AM from the proving-you-know-what-you-know dept.

richardeholder asks: "Our Novell partners differentiate themselves in the marketplace by promoting their areas of expertise or specializations; this allows their customers to know what their skill sets are and what they can reasonably expect these partners to provide for them. As we embrace Linux, we would like to extend the title of 'Linux specialist' to partners who merit it. Before we move forward on this initiative, we would like to ask the Linux community for guidance on what should constitute a Linux specialist. Should we require certifications such as LPI and the RHCE/RHCT, or are there other more valuable ways of demonstrating Linux competency?"

Go for the Novell Certified Linux Engineer certification.

  The CLE is for Novell's products that run on Linux, not for Linux itself. And the question was what criteria should Novell use to signify their partners as "Linux specialists". That criteria could include certifications, or it may not.
