A Novell Linux Specialist?

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?"

    Is that you Steve?

    You can have an MCSE certificate and be totally incompetent, why should there be different rules for Linux?

      Doesn't having MCSE implies that one IS incompetent? I mean, really...

    Why do people still use this archaic crap when there is a true, professional alternative: Apple. The best OS, the fastest CPU, the fastest supercomputer in the world, and the best design money can buy. What the hell else do you need? Think different, think better, think Apple.
