process. Just rote info about RHisms. When presented with a debain machine they were all at sea. Let see if they pass and then check
That is definitely bad.
once again. More important they are completely clueless about the gpl, free software philosphy etc. which would make them another brand of serfs.
What has GPL and FS philosophy got to do with everyday admining of servers? Point being they are people who are supposed to know everything about one particular distro.
If u know about those 2 u know about the danger of prop. software, distro specific mangles, standards etc. All of which has got more to do with admining your IT setup than knowing where some config file is saved. In this case while the certification may suit RH, it's definetly short changing the one being certified. And IMO RH is playing the same game that the prop. companies are playing.
If a company wants debian admins, they get someone who is trained on Debian. Isnt that the whole way FOSS / Linux works? Build extremely efficient tools to do ONE specific task perfectly and not ONE tool to do all possible tasks under the sun :P
And that is specifically what u dont want - a xyz specific admin. A person is NOT a tool. U wind up with all sorts of problems trying to model them as tools. If u want a tool use a pc.
