Novell's Certified Linux Engineer

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-a-bad-idea dept.

AEnertia writes "Novell have been quick in moving ahead with their recent aquisition of SuSE. I was browsing their site when I found this page describing their new certification (CLE) under their certifications programs. Looks like they are positioning their well respected certification program for their newest asset."

      I always thought that the official SCO courses would make you a Certified Unix Network Technician. Certainly I'm sure Darl McBride is one.

    So the first thing that you see when you go to the Novell page is a guy laying on his back, arms cross behind his head.

    Are they saying that we are lazy?

    I was checking the SCO website and came across their "SCO certified IP lawyer" certification webpage.

    What do you guys think? Worth getting?

      Your sentences are far too well thought out & constructed. If you are to spew a steady stream of SCOX solicitor duckspeak, incoherence, bullcrap & FUD, I would suggest intoxication or a partial lobotomy.

      My employer paid for my SCLE (SCO Certified Linux Engineer) and the test went something like this:

      1. You have a network of 90 desktop Linux PCs, 4 dual-procressor Linux workgroup servers, and 1 16-way Linux enterprise server. How much do you pay SCO?

      a) $142,000
      b) $62,000,000
      c) $118,000,000
      d) All of the above

    It's kind of a stretch that Microsoft cranks out people called "certified software engineers" too.

    $2,000 for a five day course!

    Okay, for all (three) of you who don't already know Linux, and who aren't interested in the "Novell" portions of this class, I'll be teaching GNU/Linux for the bargain price of (oh, it pains be to quote a figure so high) only $1,000 for a five day course!

    Step right up!

    If you're a bright class we might even get to advanced topics such as systems administration or software development with GCC and vi!

    In other news, dice.com reported the first job posting for a Novell Certified Linux Engineer! The drawback is that it requires 3+ years as a NCLE.
