I have often fancied getting certified for Linux, I have quallifications but
none of them have the word Linux on them. But when I have looked at those
courses online they look very basic and the thought of spending a few
months studying commandline syntax or how to connect to a network, well my
boredom nerves twitch and I just can't bring myself to sign up to a few
months of dullosity.
Then of cause there is the point of what is the quallification worth if no
one who reads my CV has ever heard of it.
I can even do it for free, this company would pay, we have a budget for
this, plus there's a tax refund that goes with it. A week or so in London
in a nice hotel would be nice. Is there a sigh colly gist here who could
get me past the boredom aspect of sitting through lessons on learning how
to write a profile script or create a user? I also concidered doing a corse
on english language, but I can't see any use for that.
