Have you checked with LPI <a href="http://www.lpi.org/">http://www.lpi.org/</a> and see if they have some kind of beginner certification?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 11:39 AM, Jeffrey Miller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jeff@socorro.k12.nm.us">jeff@socorro.k12.nm.us</a>></span> wrote:<br>

achievement. I am looking for something that isn't as gnarly as an A+<br>
cert. But still will state that the holder of said cert has<br>
successfully built a linux box and was able to do some CLI stuff. And<br>
show someone else how to do the build. or something like that. <:<br>
